“… Fr. Andres de San Agustin printed a grammar of the bicol language in the province of Camarines in the bicol language (which is the commonest and most universal of that province), in the year 1647, and translation that he made into that language of the Doctrina of the same Cardinal Bellarmino, in the same language and in the same year.Fr. Fray Juan del Spiritu Santo printed another Tratado de Comunion y Confesion with which the father ministers and the natives have sufficient for study- the first, the so important barbaric languages of these kingdoms; and the second, the so necessary mysteries of our holy faith, the above is what has been printed in the bicol language; and since the writings left by frs. Fray Marcos de Lisboa and Fray Diego Bermeo , the first ministers of that province and the first masters of that language, have not been printed, we shall make no mention of them. “''
