a secular cura.

Next to that province on the side toward the archbishopric of Manila,
lies the province called Ylocos. It is very fertile and abounds in
gold and cotton, and is densely populated. It has an alcalde-mayor, and
all its administration is in charge of calced Augustinian religious.

The province called Pangasinan is next to the said province of
Ylocos. It is densely populated, fertile, and abounds in gold. The
religious of St. Dominic have charge of it, with the exception of
some small villages on the seacoast, which are in charge of discalced
Augustinian religious. All those three provinces together with the
islands called Babullanes belong to the said bishopric of Cagaian. They
lie north of Manila. There are many people yet to be converted, some
of them being rebels who have taken to the mountains, while there
are others who pay their tributes although they are not Christians.

Bishopric of Camarines or Nueva Cazeres

In the part opposite the bishopric of Cagayan lies the bishopric
called Camarines or Nueva Cazeres. Its city, called [Nueva] Cazeres,
is the seat of the bishopric and has a secular cura and a convent of
religious of St. Francis which has a hospital. All that province of
Camarines, and another one called Paracale is in charge of religious
of St. Francis; and they are in the jurisdiction of one alcalde-mayor.

The province called Calilaya or Taiabas, which has another
alcalde-mayor, is also in the charge of religious of St. Francis,
except the villages called Bondo which are in charge of seculars. The
said jurisdiction has another province called Canttanduanes, which has
its own corregidor; and some small islands a short distance from the
mainland. Those islands, which are called Burias, Masbate, and Tican,
are in charge of seculars.

The islands of Romblon and Bantton, which belong to that jurisdiction
of Canttanduanes, are in charge of religious of the discalced
Augustinians. Those two bishoprics of Nueva Segovia and Nueva Cazeres
are located in the island of Manila. That island is about two hundred
leguas or so long and runs from the east to the north, from about
thirteen and one-half degrees [of latitude] to about nineteen or a
trifle less. In the east it has a width of about one day's journey
from one sea to the other, or a trifle more; and in the north is
thirty or forty leguas wide. The total circumference of the island
is about four hundred leguas.
