Before me:
_Felipe Roman_, notary.
[Eight more witnesses are examined; but as they testify to the same
purport as the two preceding deponents (and almost in the identical
language of these), we omit their testimony. All of them are Indian
chiefs, from villages near Manila; and all are presumably converts,
as all bear Christian forenames. At the end appear the following
affidavits:]
This document was prepared and copied from the original which remains
in my possession, and was prepared by me at the command of the said
alcalde-mayor; and which I declare to have been truly and certainly
done in the village of Bacolor on the twentieth day of the month of
May, in the year one thousand five hundred and ninety-one.
Witness: Pedro Garcia de Molina.
_Joan de Alcega_
I, Phelipe Roman, notary of the province of Panpanga, in place of
Rodrigo Quadros, notary-public of the same, prepared this document
by order of the alcalde-mayor, who here has signed his name. At the
end I have hereunto affixed my seal, in witness of the truth.
_Phelipe Roman_, notary.

each encomienda, the number of ministers of instruction in them, and
the number they lack and need; the capitals and the alcaldes mayor
established therein, who maintain peace therein, and govern them in
peace, justice, and civilization, in their present condition. May
the last, one thousand five hundred and ninety-one_. [5]
