[13] The two Latin phrases read thus in English respectively:  “in the bowels of Jesus Christ,” and “that I may be counted worthy of suffering reproach [or ignominy] for the name of Jesus.”

[16] The Order of Theatins was founded in 1524, by St. Cajetan of Chieti or Teate (whence Theatinus) and three others, one of whom later became Pope Paul IV.  Their vows were very strict, for they were even forbidden to solicit alms.  They were the first congregation in the Church of regular clerics or canons regular (clerici regulares or canonici regulares).  On account of the early renown for piety which they acquired, it became usual to style any devout person a Theatino or Chietino.  They were also sometimes called Tolentines, from the name of their principal church dedicated to St. Nicholas of Tolentine.  Their dress being similar to that of the Jesuits, they were through ignorance often mistaken for them.  The term was also applied to some of the Jesuits who had been in Florida and afterward went to Manila; to the Jesuit missionaries in Japan; and to the first Jesuits in the Philippines.  Paul IV wished to unite his order with the Jesuits, but his request was not acceded to by St. Ignatius Loyola.  The Theatins were never widely known outside of Italy.—­The editors are indebted for this note to Revs.  Jose Algue, S.J., Manila Observatory, E.I.  Devitt, S.J., Georgetown College, and T.C.  Middleton, O.S.A., Villanova College.  See also Addis and Arnold’s Catholic Dict., pp. 792, 793.

[20] In 1621, the flagship of which Fernando Centeno was commander, “Nuestra Senora de la Vida,” was wrecked in Isla Verde.  See Colin, Labor evangelica, p. 159.

[21] One may see in this and subsequent marginal notes of this nature, in this and in other documents, the possible working of the Spanish government offices.  The memoranda thus made on the margins of the document by the council or government representative in the king’s name, evidently formed the basis of the various decrees and orders despatched to the colonies, in regard to points brought out in the document that
