When this convent passed from
the order its vote was transferred to the convent of Barbaran.
Some acts were passed afterward, which, translated into Latin and
printed, are observed in the province. I do not place them here,
as I think that they do not further our purpose in any way. Their
annulment was asked for, for experience has shown that they have been
productive of little good, and that the province had not need of so
great rigor as they contain.


CHAPTER XXXV
_Of the election of our father Fray Vicente de Sepulveda_

Our father visitor-general thought that he had complied with
his obligation, and that the affairs of the province were in good
condition. He set about returning to Espana with the results of his
labor, although for the completion of the visit there was no time
allotted; for he had ample license to remain in the province as long as
he judged it advisable for its advantage and greater good. He did not
have good fortune on that voyage, for, either the poor equipment or
the late departure caused both the almiranta and the flagship to put
back in distress.
