All the Indian neophytes--settled in four hundred and fifteen villages and fifty-three visitas, which compose the twenty-one provinces of the territory--have their ministers of religious instruction, who exercise toward them the office of parish priests. These ministers are aided on his Majesty's account, in accordance with the regulation made by the adelantado Miguel Lopez de Legazpi while he was governor of these islands, which was approved by royal decree of April 24, 1584. They received a hundred pesos and a hundred fanegas of rice for every five hundred tributes to whom they minister, and the contribution of wine and oil which was ordained by the late royal decree dated September 15 in the year 1726--enjoying this without any limitation of time. The separate provinces and number of ministers, and the amount of expenses, will be shown in the following tables: Summary of the stipends which each religious order is entitled to receive for the mission villages and ministries that it has.
