The father provincial, well-pleased with so fine a company [of religious], divided them among the provinces.  He sent the father reader, Fray Francisco de Villalon, [62] to read in Manila, and the father did that very satisfactorily; for there were many religious who needed it.  He sent excellent missionaries to the province of Bisayas; and it seems that great pains were taken in this, and he did in this what the province wished.  For he sent it the best of the company, and no error was made in the selection, since all of them have become very devout religious and careful of their ministry.

He sent a procurator to Espana in the first year of his provincialate; namely, father Fray Antonio de Ocampo, a very eloquent preacher, and who was accordingly esteemed in the province for that, as well as for the other offices which he had held.  But he had little good fortune on the voyage, for the flagship did not make the voyage that year, because of having been detained in necessary repairing, and when it reached the Embocadero there was no wind to carry it outside, and it returned at the end of October.  The almiranta had time in which to leave, and made the voyage, although at great risk, reaching Nueva Espana in a mastless condition.

After the second year of his triennium, the provincial sent another procurator; for the first one, warned by the voyage, thought that he ought not to embark again.  This was father Fray Hernando Guerrero, whom we have already seen, as he brought the finest company that has been in or has entered these islands for many years.  Making the second voyage, he brought another company, that would have been no less excellent if death had not snatched away its best members
