1. In the city of Manila, with the jurisdiction of all the
archbishopric except the port of Cavitte. On account of the vessels
that anchor in the latter place from foreign kingdoms, and because
during some months in the year it is not easy to cross the bay,
it is advisable for that port to have its own commissary.
2. In the said city of Manila, the said employes who are mentioned
in its description.
3. In the fort of Sanboangan in the island of Mindanao, and the
islands subordinate to it.
4. In the city of Sebu, whose commissary can serve for all the islands
called Pinttados.
5. In the town of Arebalo or Oton; the same person may be commissary
of its jurisdiction and of that of Panai and the island of Negros.
6. In the presidio of Yligan and Caraga.
7. There could also be one in the islands of Calamianes and the
islands subordinate to them.
8. Another commissary in the jurisdiction of Cagaian, Ylocos,
and Pangasinan.
9. Another in the forts of Terrenate. This is most necessary, as the
Spaniards of the said forts are among Dutch and Moros, and so far
from the city of Manila.
