Note 75 — Chapter XIX
Reading edition
They have remarkable Bisayan linguists. And although [230] they printed Belarmino75 in that tongue, I think it was at more cost than gain; for to imagine that the Indian will buy a book is a ridiculous notion. And even if he had it, he would be too lazy to read it. This is the reason why so little has been printed in all the languages of these regions. Perhaps with the lapse of time they will lose the ancient vices, and become fonder of the truth.
