and all the auditors of this royal Audiencia, the regidors, and many other persons, on the site of the Parian—­at which time they were considering its rebuilding, it being on the first anniversary of the burning of the said Parian, which was on the sixth of October of the said year six hundred and three.  This witness saw that the lord archbishop opposed it, saying that it was inexpedient to build it for many reasons, until an account of them had been given to his Majesty.  And finally he called to this witness, and said to him that those houses of the Indians—­pointing out to him the said village above mentioned—­would better be moved back and taken from that place; for it was not good that they should remain there, and particularly when they were considering putting Sangleys so near.  This was heard by the lord governor, Don Pedro de Acuna, and other persons who were there.  And this witness knows that on that same day the lord governor and both the cabildos, the secular and ecclesiastical, were in the church of San Andres, where mass was being chanted in honor of the patron saints of this city, in thanksgiving for their aid, which, on such a day as this, had given us victory over the Chinese; and the said lord archbishop preached, and in the sermon discoursed at length concerning the inadvisability of a second Parian, owing to the many offenses against God there committed, and the great danger in which it would again place this city.  Notwithstanding this and other measures which the said lord archbishop took in the matter—­such as sending to tell the lord governor, Don Pedro de Acuna, with Captain Pedro de Ortega, alcalde-in-ordinary of this city, that this village of the natives should be removed, as it was so near to the Parian, in order to avoid the offenses that would there be committed against God our Lord—­so far as he has learned, they have not up to the present day removed the said village.  And this witness knows that in the said village of the said natives, there was a house of Sangleys, in which this witness saw three Sangleys; for this witness, as cura of the natives of this city, was commanded by his most reverend Lordship to investigate their way of life, and see whether there were any infidel Sangleys among them.  In compliance with what his most reverend Lordship commanded, he went to the said village, with Senor Geronimo de Alcaraz, and both together saw the said three infidel Sangleys, who were living there; and, when asked how long they had been living there, they answered “three months.”  Likewise this witness asked the Indians of the said village and another Indian—­a chief from Mindoro, who frequently went to the said village—­whether there had been more Sangleys.  They answered that as many as six other Sangleys had lived there, in this said Indian village, for more than two months.  This witness knows further that, by a strenuous effort made by the said archbishop, the said Chinese were removed from the said village.  This procedure
