NINETEENTH ABUSE_The Philippine Islands, 1493-1898; Volume 50 Explorations by early navigators, descriptions of the islands and their peoples, their history and records of the catholic missions, as related in contemporaneous books and manuscripts, showing the political, economic, commercial and religious conditions of those islands from their earliest relations with European nations to the close of the nineteenth century

It is an abuse for some men of the religious estate, who are

supported and maintained by his Majesty with the character of

apostolic missionaries, to teach the Indians, instead of love for

their neighbor, to hate and persecute the Castilas (thus they call us

Spaniards). This is a practice as old as the conquest, and was seen

with horror in the most cruel period of the war; and afterward this

proposition was inculcated in a certain pulpit of Manila, to a great

gathering of Spaniards and Indians, [saying], "To issue to a man a

warrant as alcalde is the same thing as que deleatur de libro vitæ;"

[104] and in other pulpits were said other things not less scandalous

against all the [Spanish] nation.
