[Here follow the same commands and penalties as in the preceding
decree, relative to the proper instruction of the people in
Christian doctrine, and the prohibition of fees to the cura for the
administration of the sacrament of penance. The decree continues:]
Moreover, inasmuch as it is commanded, by a general decree of
visitation, now obeyed and practiced by all the secular curas of
this archbishopric, in fulfilment of a royal decree by his Majesty
(whom may God keep), that the viaticum shall be carried to sick
Indians in their own houses, and that they shall on no account be
carried from their houses to the churches to receive it: therefore
his most illustrious Lordship commanded and did command that the said
decree shall be observed, fulfilled, and executed in this curacy of
Balayan, and in its visita of Nazugbu and Lian. And, for its proper
fulfilment, it is commanded that a reliquary be made of silver or gold,
in order that when on any occasion there shall not be mode or form
of the customary external pomp, the viaticum may be carried therein,
as is commanded, to the sick; and warning is given that, on receiving
notice of any violation of this decree, proceedings will be instituted
against the disobedient person against whom there shall be legal cause.
All the above, contained and expressed in the present decree, his most
illustrious Lordship commanded, and did command, must be observed,
fulfilled, and executed by Bachelor Don Juan de Llamas, proprietary
cura of this district of Balayan, and he must cause it to be observed,
fulfilled, and executed by him who shall in the said cura's place
administer the holy sacraments in the villages of Nazugbu and Lian;
and of his punctual obedience the said curate shall notify his most
illustrious Lordship, at the first opportunity that shall occur, so
that, in case what is here commanded shall not be duly and effectually
carried out, his most illustrious Lordship may decide and ordain what
may be expedient.
