ng to them by our tariffs.

_Item_: If you know whether the choristers and sacristans have
likewise taken larger fees than are assigned them by our said tariffs,
for burials, funeral honors, and other things that belong to them;
and whether, when any poor man has died who has not the wherewithal
to pay the fees, they have refused to bury him unless they are paid,
or unless they receive pledges that they demand before burying him.

_Item_: If you know whether there are any apostates of our holy
Catholic faith; or who practice any evil worship; or who possess or
read books of it.

_Item_: Whether there are any who are living in public concubinage,
or as whoremongers; or who keep in their houses slave women, or other
women or men of evil life, in order to commit sins.

_Item_: Whether there are any who have not confessed, or fulfilled
the precept of the church, according to their obligation; or whether
there are any who have eaten meat unnecessarily during Lent on the
fast of Friday or the four ember days.

_Item_: Whether there are any married twice while the first husbands
or wives are living, or who are married to relatives in the degree
prohibited, without dispensation from him who can give it.

_Item_: If you know whether there are any usurers who loan money at
usury and interest; or who sell on credit at a dearer price than the
things are worth when cash is paid; or who buy at a less price in order
to give the money advanced with the imposition or fraud and usury.

_Item_: If you know whether there are any, either of you natives,
or of any other nation, either men or women, who are sorcerers, or
witches, or magicians; or those who pray to the devil, or who cast
any kind of lots, whether to discover theft, or to ascertain other
things by enchantments and witchcraft.

And inasmuch as the above evil is a very great offense and disservice
to God our Lord; and as it is advisable to remedy that herein
contained that has been committed: we order, exhort, and admonish
all the citizens, dwellers, residents, and inhabitants of this said
village of Dilao [to make known these things], within the said term of
three days--under penalty that, if they know it and do not declare it,
they shall, if it be proved, be punished most severely.

Given in this village of Dilao, June twenty-four, one thousand six
hundred and twenty-two.
