Note 7 — ROJO’S JOURNAL
Reading edition
After the taking of the Augustinian convent at Malate, the archbishop issued a circular to all the religious orders, telling them “that it was now time for them to leave their cloisters and aid in the defense of the city,” which they did gladly. Later, he ordered all the orders to furnish soldiers, and many of the religious entered the ranks. See Sitio y conquista, pp. 39, 50. ↑
