Although they had but little comfort, the bishop,
Don Fray Miguel Garcia, embarked with his fine company of religious;
and he brought them in safety to the port of Cavite, although they
were almost wrecked among the islands, because the vendavals had set
in early and with violent force. At last freed from this and other
dangers by the mercy of God, and as they were laborers chosen by
God for this His vineyard, He did not wish them to lack work in it;
and so He placed them at the doors of the convent of Manila, poor
from the lack of comfort in the voyage, but rich with their hopes
and virtues. Their names were:
Father Fray Hernando Guerrero, who came as prior of them all.
Father Fray Antonio de Ocampo, a very eloquent preacher, and a
Castilian.
Father Fray Juan de Trejo, a very eloquent preacher, and from
Estremadura.
Father Fray Juan Ramirez, a preacher, from Burgos.
Father Fray Pedro Ramirez, a preacher, from Burgos.
Father Fray Diego de Robles, a Castilian.
Father Fray Diego de Avalos, from Toledo.
Father Fray Agustin Carreno, from Asturia, a Tagal.
