He came to vote, therefore, at the following chapter,
and remained in the province of Tagalos, with the title of reader
of theology. Soon after that the bishop of Camarines, then visitor,
selected him as his associate in the general visitation.
He afterwards came to read at Manila, and also voted in that chapter
with the title of associate to our father Fray Miguel Garcia. Our
father Fray Vicente chose him as his associate, and immediately gave
him the priorate of Agonoy. During the provincialate of our father
Baraona, he was prior of Bulacan. During that of our father Fray Juan
Enriquez he was definitor; and also, for a year and a half, prior of
Manila. During the triennium of our father Mentrida, he was visitor
and prior of Pasig. After that, in the contest for provincial he fell
a trifle short of the required age, but was dispensed by the father
master, Fray Diego del Aguila--who presided as provincial, or rather,
as senior definitor. The definitors elected in that chapter were: Fray
Francisco Bonifacio (the second time that he had held that office);
the second, Fray Esteban de Peralta; [63] the third, Fray Jeronimo
de Medrano; [64] and the fourth, Fray Alonso de Carvajal.
