19. Each priest shall forthwith prepare a book, in which these our
decrees shall be written--as well as those which we shall again issue
in person, or which our provisor and vicar-general shall enact; or
measures which shall be taken by our vicar forane, [129] as the one
who keeps all things in his view.
20. Even within the house they shall go dressed and shod through the
day; and any one who shall descend to saying mass in a tipsy condition
[con la turca], or shall take his seat in the confessional without
collar and cassock, shall undergo severe penalties.
21. In every respect they shall render obedience to our vicar forane.
22. Finally, mindful of the duties of their ministry, and of the
very exact account which God will demand from them for the souls of
every one of their parishioners, they shall instruct their people, by
deed and by word, until the true idea of Christian life is formed in
them--stimulating in them love and obedience to our Catholic monarch,
who has conferred upon them so great benefits and loves them with a
father's tenderness, and to the venerable ministers who govern them in
the name of God and of so great a king. At the archiepiscopal palace

THE EXPULSION OF THE JESUITS,
1768-1769
[This subject is one of profound and far-reaching significance in
history, especially that of Europe; but the exigencies of our limited
space forbid us to do more than suggest some of the more important
aspects of this matter, and to furnish references to historical works
in which it is treated at length. Our chief attention is necessarily
given to the expulsion of the Jesuits from the Philippines, which will
concern us mainly with the facts of the case; and for this we must
have recourse largely to Montero y Vidal's account of it as given in
his Historia de Filipinas, ii, chapters v-vii. (Ferrando says nothing
about the banishment of the Jesuits, save in a few incidental allusions
which we have cited in previous notes.) To this relation we add a few
contemporaneous documents, and other matter from various historical
writers, presenting as far as available actual facts, and the views
of both sides, impartially.]
