one Spanish and the other Pampanga.  The title and pay of royal chaplain was given and conceded to the minister of that village.  The fort mounted on its ramparts some excellent artillery.  The conquests were carried farther along that coast, and inland.  The Spaniards were also received, and without any repugnance the natives accommodated themselves to the fitting homage, even the infidels recognizing the tribute.  Villages were established on the river of Barbacan, Aborlan, and as far as Ypolote.  They also reduced the island of Dumaran, and spread to the Calamianes Islands, where they founded reductions in Linacapan, Culiong, or Calamian the lesser, and in the greater [Oalamian] at Busuagan.  To the above, which they regarded as capitals, they added other near-by villages; and as their ministrations spread so extraordinarily, it became necessary for a greater number of religious to go there.  That was made possible by the second arrival from Espana of father Fray Rodrigo de San Miguel, [79] who had been sent to make various efforts in their interests, and who returned with eight religious.
