 Padre Coelho, will they allow the rest of the Portuguese to stay? The merchants and traders? The edict is clear. Hideyoshi does not want to cut off his supply of European knowledge, technology, weaponry. What are we going to do then, Father Provincial? We, priests of Japan? My inclination is that we should retreat to the Philippines, leave our elderly priests in the safety of Spanish rule, and come back with a torrent of conquistadores.
