made any signal omission in this; and whether he preaches and teaches
the Christian doctrine to you, as he is obliged.

_Item_: Whether the administration of the holy sacraments takes place
with the reverence and propriety that is fitting; whether he has
married anyone before daybreak, or without the admonitions ordered by
the holy council, or without the notification of our vicars, and their
permission having preceded, in the cases in which it ought to be made
and asked for; and whether the baptisms that have taken place have been
in the baptismal font of the church, with all respect and reverence.

_Item_: If you know whether the said your minister keeps the tariff
of the fees--both those which pertain to him and those that pertain
to singers, fiscals, and sacristans--written and placed openly
where all may read it, so that they may know what they have to pay;
or whether he has forced the natives to give more alms than they owe
or are willing to give for marriages, baptisms, or burials, whether
in money or in other things.

_Item_: Whether the said your minister is careful to execute the pious
foundations and the wills of his parishioners; or whether these have
failed to be observed through his fault.

_Item_: Whether the said your minister is careful to register his
parishioners, both natives and those of other nations, at the time of
Lent; and whether he has confessed them during that time, or tried
to confess them; and whether he has, after Lent, made any effort to
ascertain whether they fulfilled their duties to the church according
to their obligation.
