notified the very reverend fathers-provincial in Christ of the sacred
orders of St. Dominic and St. Augustine, and the commissaries of that
of St. Francis, of these islands, by means of an order signed by his
most illustrious Lordship, which was given to them in the first part
of April of this current year, so that, understanding it, the matter
might be facilitated and observed on the part of the said orders,
with the good-will and exactness that is proper, and which they have
always had in obeying and observing the orders of the holy apostolic
see, and those of his Majesty. And inasmuch as it is advisable that
there be no more delay in the above, his most illustrious Lordship
intends to go to visit the mission of the natives of the village of
Dilao, outside the walls of the city of Manila, which is in charge
of the Order of St. Francis, on the day of St. John the Baptist. He
has advised the father guardian of the said convent thereof, in order
that the Indians of the said convent may be assembled in the church at
the hour of high mass, and so that all other necessary arrangements
be made for making the said visit. His Lordship ordered the above
to be set down as an act, together with the copy of the brief of his
Holiness Gregory Fourteenth, and of his Majesty's decrees, of which
mention is made above; and he signed the same.
