16451And how can we compel those already christianized to fulfil their duties, if the Indian feels that the father can not punish him?
16451And if we ministers have experienced this after so long a period of cultivation and teaching, what must it have been at the beginning?
16451And with such risk, what harvest can not be awaited?
16451Are the former not, like the latter, rational beings?
16451But then, who can remedy this?
16451For if the Indians have no fear or respect for the religious, of what advantage is our stay here?
16451For they say:"What is given me by another, or by the village?"
16451If then they agree in the chief thing, which is excellency, how do they differ so much in the manner of living?
16451If they are censured, they answer:"What can we do, since there is nothing besides the will of God?"
16451Is that contrary to the liberty in which we are born?
16451It there were no religious, how could the tributes be entirely collected?
16451Now if the Indian lack this fear, who can bring him to reason?
16451Therefore, cursed demon, if thus you have advised, how in spite of torments, do you contrive that your law is received?
16451Thus in discussing the glory of heaven, or the pains of hell with them, they reply that if they do not see it how then can they believe it?"
16451Who domesticated the Indians, so that one can go through the whole country with more safety than by the highways of España?
16451Who has not experienced this?
16451Why do some have an organized state, and others not?"

34384How is it possible now not only to have but even to imagine peace in the Filipinas?

34384If it were not just, why were these decrees made and executed?

52681How many Indian theologues, canons, philosophers, moralists[ have graduated] from the conciliar seminaries?
52681How many scientific notabilities have resulted from the natives up to the present from the university cloisters?
52681I will ask such people why does not that subordination and submission prevent them from making any mechanical work with a sufficient perfection?
52681Now, because those results have not been obtained, are the missionaries to blame?
52681Perhaps they are not the ones who in their teaching have created everything today existing in Filipinas?
