And his most illustrious Lordship, employing his pastoral kindness
and clemency, and desiring to secure the salvation of his flock and
the service of God our Lord, and the greater honor and glory of His
Divine Majesty, granted and did grant forty days of indulgence to all
the parishioners of the said villages; who, with devotion and desire
to profit thereby, attend the explanation of the Christian doctrine in
their parish churches. And in order that this may be made known to all
the people, his most illustrious Lordship commanded and did command
that the above persons who now are, and those who hereafter shall be,
curas of the said districts shall make publication of the grant of
the said forty days of indulgence, on every Sunday of the month,
before or after the explanation of the Christian doctrine, always
making known to their parishioners the great riches and strength
contained therein, so that they may obtain and enjoy the indulgence
with profitable results--in regard to which his most illustrious
Lordship lays strict charge upon their consciences.
And considering that the visitas of the villages of San Pedro
Tunasan and Biñan pertain to the cura of the said village of
Tabuco, his most illustrious Lordship commanded and did command
that the master Licentiate Don Manuel de Leon, proprietary cura of
that village, cause this decree to be observed by his coadjutor,
Bachelor Nicolas Godiño, in the said church and village of Biñan;
and by Father Miguel de Salas, the present minister of the village of
San Pedro Tunasan--sending each a copy, signed with his name, of this
decree by his illustrious Lordship, which will be left, certified
and authorized, in the book of burials, baptisms, and marriages of
the said village of Tabuco. This being done, the said ministers,
Bachelor Nicolas Godiño and Father Miguel de Salas, will also make in
the books in their charge a certified copy of the decree--which is to
be sent immediately, with autograph signature copied at the foot of
the letter--so that it may be made known to all persons who hereafter
shall be ministers and curas of the said districts, San Pedro Tunasan,
Biñan, and Sancto Thomas. And by this decree, accordingly, the above
is ordained and commanded, and it is signed by his most illustrious
Lordship the archbishop, my master, as I attest.
Diego, archbishop of Manila.
Before me:
Francisco Sanctos de Oliveros, secretary.
