blind tyrannies and barbarous cruelties, with which the enemy of
the human race had for so long afflicted them and brought them up
for himself. From this cause the crown and sceptre of Spain has
come to extend itself over all that the sun looks on, from its
rising to its setting, with the glory and splendour of its power
and majesty; but surpassing any of the other princes of the earth
by having gained innumerable souls for heaven, which has been
Spain's principal intention and wealth. And besides much riches and
the treasures which she enjoys, together with memorable deeds and
victories which she has won, so that throughout the universe her
great name is praised and celebrated, and the perseverance and
valour of her vassals, who have accomplished these deeds and poured
out their blood. Having won America, a fourth part of the earth
which the ancients never knew, they sailed following the sun, and
discovered in the Western Ocean an archipelago of many islands,
adjacent to further Asia, inhabited by various nations, abounding
in rich metals, precious stones, and pearls, and all manner of
fruit. Where, raising the standard of the Faith, they snatched them
from the yoke and power of the devil, and placed them under her
command and government: so that justly may they raise in those
isles the pillars and trophies of Ncm pfas ultra, which the famous
Hercules left on the shore...
While Don Luys Dasmarinas was governing, the suspicions and fear of
Xapon continued, which, together with the Chinese trouble, kept the
people in continual anxiety. The governor sent his cousin, Don
Fernando de Castro, with letters and despatches to the viceroy of
Canton and to that of Chincheo, where many of the Chinese who had
seized the galley and killed Governor Gomez Perez, were thought to
be found. Supposing that they had gone there with the galley, the
governor requested the Chinese authorities to deliver the culprits
for punishment, and to restore the royal standard, artillery, and
other things which had been seized.
This book is part of the TREDITION CLASSICS series. The creators of
this series are united by passion for literature and driven by the
intention of making all public domain books available in printed
format again - worldwide. At tredition we believe that a great book
never goes out of style. Several mostly non-profit literature
projects provide content to tredition. To support their good work,
tredition donates a portion of the proceeds from each sold copy. As
a reader of a TREDITION CLASSICS book, you support our mission to
save many of the amazing works of world literature from oblivion.
This book, from the series Primary Sources: Historical Books of the
World (Asia and Far East Collection), represents an important
historical artifact on Asian history and culture. Its contents come
from the legions of academic literature and research on the subject
produced over the last several hundred years. Covered within is a
discussion drawn from many areas of study and research on the
subject. From analyses of the varied geography that encompasses the
Asian continent to significant time periods spanning centuries, the
book was made in an effort to preserve the work of previous
generations.
