corrected and collated with the said will signed by the said notary, is of the following tenor: _Item_: His most reverend Lordship said and declared that he made--and he did so make--while still in life, a complete and irrevocable gift of all the remainder of his properties for a pious enterprise. He has conferred and communicated in regard to the same with the said fathers--namely, the prior of Santo Domingo, Fray Domingo de Nieva, [48] and Fray Bernardo de Santa Catalina, commissary of the Holy Office. In this charitable work all his properties remaining are to be applied and distributed, in what manner and form they ordain and consider advisable, in accordance with his communication and resolution in regard to it.

To all three of them, and to each one of them singly, _in solidum_, I delegate power sufficient to adjust and inventory my properties, and to sell and fulfil that herein contained.
