Abstract: Pope Clement XI writes to the Archbishop of Manila encouraging continued care and vigilance in promoting a mission to newly reported islands in the Chinese Ocean. The brief praises the zeal of the Manila church and Jesuit procurators, describes the islanders as docile and fair-minded, and urges prayers, advice, and local support for the proposed evangelizing expedition.
