hallando en ella otra cosa quedó admirado. Y en su lengua dijo
"¡Aba! ¿Onzaquine?" El "¡Aba!" es palabra de admiración y el "¿Onsaquine?"
"¿Qué es esto?" y preguntaronle que de que se espantaba y entonces [contó]
lo que le había sucedido=
Lo quarto que cuando la nao San Phelipe estuvo en esta []
de arribada al querer salir para hacer su viaje la corriente [la]
echó sobre una punta de arena que tenía a mano [izquierda]
con notable riesgo de zozobrarse y empezaron a echar []
para remediarla. Otros acudieron a [alisar] pero [a cua]
al mayor y más verdadero que fue al santísimo niño [descubrien]
y todo aquel día (que esto fue de mañana) no hizo sino crecer
marea y creció tanto que sobrepujó a la mayor marea de la []
dos brasas con que la nao enderezó y salió de riesgo y fue [subi]
Y lo quinto que sus camisitas han hecho milagros y uno de ellos
de declarar el Capitán Manuel Piñero vecino de Manila que [v]
con el llevando a su mujer en una champán y es que tres [leguas]
de la mar, según me escribió sobre Masbate, yendo a la [belas]
viento fresco topó el champán en unos bajos y se [rompieron]
rumbo que con un [colechon] le remediaron. Y acaso llevaban
una camisita del santissimo niño y luego la colgaron de la belas.
La devoción que el peligro requería y al punto calmó el viento.
La mar quedó tan serena como si fuera un río con que el [p]
este benefició con un reconocimiento que envió a [los niños]
sea bendito por siempre jamás=
El sexto que estando esta ciudad con grandísima seco []
retumbaban enfermedades pidió al padre vicario [proviese]
sacase el niño y sacándole en procesión a la ciudad
en un día claro y sereno. Llegado a la catedral
empezó el cielo a despedir agua en tanta cantidad que no [da]
lugar al predicador hacer oído y dijo que no quería [can]
pues el agua predicaba. Y esto a sido muchas veces.=

having found anything else in it, he was astonished. And in his language, he said, '¡Aba! Unsa kini?' This '¡Aba!' is an expression of astonishment, and '¿Unsa kini?' means 'What is this?' They asked him what he was so startled about, and then he told them what had happened to him=
The fourth is that when the ship San Phelipe was in this [port] to anchor, and when it was about to leave for its voyage, the current drove it onto a sandbank on the left-hand side, with a significant risk of capsizing, and they began to throw [ballast] to remedy the situation. Others tried to [straighten] it, but the most effective and true solution was invoking the santísimo niño [they discovered], and that whole day (which was in the morning), the tide continued to rise and grew so much that it surpassed the highest tide [] by two fathoms, allowing the ship to straighten and sail away from danger and it was []
And the fifth is that His little shirts have performed miracles, one of which was recounted by Captain Manuel Piñero, a resident of Manila, who travelled with his wife in a champán. About three leagues out to sea, according to what he wrote to me about Masbate, with the sails about to catch fresh wind, the sampan was struck in the shallows and its hull was [damaged], which they patched up with a [mat / makeshift covering]. And by chance, they were carrying a little shirt of the Holy Child which they then hung on the sails. The devotion that the danger required, and immediately the wind calmed. The sea became so calm it seemed like a river, with which the [p] benefited with a recognition that they sent the children to be blessed for ever and ever=
The sixth is that, while this city was suffering from a great drought and plagued with illnesses, he asked the father vicar to [permit] him to bring the Holy Child out. He brought Him out in a procession through the city on a clear and serene day. Upon arriving at the cathedral, the sky began to pour rain in such abundance that the preacher could not be heard and he said he did not want to [sing] since the rain itself was delivering the sermon. And this has happened many times.=
