NOTES

[1] According to the Diary of Richard Cocks, this prince was the father-in-law of Calsa Sama, the youngest son of the shogun Hidetada.

[2] Pedro de Avila joined the Franciscan missions in the Philippines in 1616, and immediately requested from his superiors permission to go to Japan.  This was finally granted; he went there in 1619, but was imprisoned for preaching the faith, in 1620, and, after nearly two years of most painful and wretched imprisonment, was burned at the stake at Nangasaqui, on September 10, 1622, at the age of thirty years.

[3] The original MS. of this document is badly worn, in places; and the words enclosed in brackets, in the two following paragraphs, indicate the conjectures of the transcriber.

[4] These priests were Pedro de Zuniga, an Augustinian, and Luis Flores, a Dominican.  In 1622, they, with the Japanese captain of the vessel, were burned to death by a slow fire, and the crew were beheaded.  The Japanese shogun appropriated the cargo of the ship, leaving only the empty hull for the Dutch and English.
