==Life== |

Having entered the Dominican Order and completed his studies at [[Salamanca]], he was sent in 1625, together with many others, as a missionary to the [[Philippine Islands]]. Whilst serving as chaplain in a hospital for Chinese and Japanese at [[Manila]] he learned their languages. |

In 1631 he offered to go to Japan and arrived at the outbreak of the persecution in 1632. Disguised as a ''[[bonze]]'', he travelled over the land and administered the rites of the Catholic religion. |

He was arrested 4 August, 1634, and subjected to tortures that lasted seven days. He was forced to witness the beheading of his companion, Thomas of St. Hyacinth, and sixty-nine other Christians. On 18 November he was suspended till dead from a plank with his head buried in the ground. |

Whilst detained in Mexico, on his way to the Philippine Islands, he wrote in Latin a series of lives of Dominican saints after a similar work by [[Hernando del Castillo]]. He left at Manila an unfinished treatise on Chinese religion. |
