Two manuscripts
written by him were conserved in the convent at Cebu.
Fray Vicente Sepulveda was a native of Castilla, and professed
in that province. In the Philippines he became chief sacristan of
the Manila convent, and learned thoroughly the Pampanga dialect,
ministering in that province for five years. He was definitor in 1611,
and provincial in 1614. His term was one of discord because of his
rigorous enforcement of the laws passed by the father visitor. In 1617,
he was chosen to fill out the term of provincial, that office becoming
vacant by the death of Jeronimo de Salas. He was killed August 21,
1617, as the result of a conspiracy of brother Augustinians who were
opposed to him.
Fray Diego Gutierrez was a native of Sigueenza in the province of
Guadalajara, and professed in the convent of Agreda in 1574. He went
to the Philippines in 1578, where he had charge of various missions
in Luzon. He served as definitor during the chapters of 1578 and
1590. His death occurred at Lubao in 1613.
Fray Antonio de Porras was born in Sevilla and professed in the convent
of that city.
