suspended and barred, by virtue of his banishment"
(Diaz, Conquistas, p. 762).

[153] "The dean opened all the prisons of his tribunal, liberating
all the prisoners therein--although among these there were several
bigamists; and one who was not only a heretic but a leader of
heretics. For, among other heresies which he taught, one was
that God had a beginning, [a doctrine] which only very learned men
understood. Another was a prebend whom his illustrious Lordship held
as a recluse in our college, for heinous and atrocious crimes, whose
final end was a sentence of degradation, and delivery to the secular
arm; the dean settled this case, without examining the documents
in the case (which they did not find), by condemning him to six
months of banishment to a country house of recreation." (Salazar,
Hist. Sant. Rosario, p. 242.)

[154] "They say, peace, peace: when there was no peace" (Jeremias
6: 14).

[155] Salazar gives some instances of this (p. 245): in the Dominican
churches the minister refused to say mass until certain persons

Pardo's exile, the government by the cabildo, and their own duty
toward those concerned in these events; and that, in accordance with
their decision, he ordered all his friars to remain in their convents,
and hold no intercourse with those persons.

[157] Salazar here alludes to the relation of all these ecclesiastical
affairs in the first part of his history, pp. 224-268. As it is so long
and detailed, we have preferred to use here the account which he gives
in his biography of Pardo; but have preserved, in our annotations,
the most important and interesting matter found in the former one.

[158] Thus in the text, but it should read "forty-eighth." Salazar
there relates how Vargas, "in the same year in which he banished the
archbishop," suffered the confiscation at Acapulco of all the goods
that he had shipped, "with little credit to his reputation and notable
expense to his estate;" and, as excommunicated by the Church, Vargas
had much to atone for and to suffer until his death. The auditor
Grimaldos died, soon after Pardo's banishment, "f
