3. They are not accustomed to obey the commands and orders sent
them by their superiors unless these suit them; for this they must
be severely rebuked.

114. Hitherto their residencias have been decided and taken with all
mildness and little investigation, so that they have lost all fear,
and dare to lead lives of carelessness and hypocrisy. Therefore it
would be advantageous to take their residencias more strictly, so
that they should live hereafter with care.

115. They do not watch carefully so that the religious shall not usurp
their jurisdiction or meddle in matters that do not pertain to them;
they do this in order not to have disputes and quarrels with the
religious, lest they themselves should not be allowed to live and
buy and sell as they please. This is a detriment to the public service.

116. Those in authority ought to refrain from asking or requiring the
alcaldes-mayor, corregidors, etc., to supply them with provisions, or
other things from their provinces, even when they pay for them; for,
in the name of those in authority, they do the same for themselves,

excusing themselves.

117. Many are haughty and disrespectful to the religious and ministers
of instruction, always inclined to contend and disagree with them. This

must be adopted in this regard.

119. They collect tribute from minor Indians, and from the aged,
the lame, the poor, the dead, and the fugitive--their oppressions in
this respect being well known.

120. They employ the Indians in building houses and large vessels,
grinding rice, cutting wood, and carrying it all to their houses and
to Manila; and then pay them little or nothing for their labor. They
use them also for their own work for many days without pay.

121. They themselves administer justice in their village, arresting
and whipping their Indians during the collection of the tribute,
besides committing other notorious acts of violence.

122. They pay but little attention to the instruction of the Indians
or anything pertaining to it. They pay grudgingly the stipends of
their curacies, as well as the money for the building and adornment
of c
