By order of the governor:
Francisco de Ortega

Also, from the said day and thenceforth, the common seamen who shall
come in the ships from Castilla, who shall not be necessary and
indispensable in the port of Cavite, shall be dismissed. The same
shall be done in the ships that sail to Terrenate and the island of
Hermosa, when they shall have returned to Manila. The pay of the said
common seamen shall not run any longer than the day on which they pass
muster after they shall have anchored. If the said galleons shall be
needed for the voyage, they shall determine what common seamen shall
be necessary, a fortnight before the ships sail.

Furthermore, the clerk of the magazines at the said port of Cavite
shall not receive, from the said day and thenceforth, a greater
sum than one hundred and fifty pesos of eight reals per year, and
nothing else.

Don Sebastian Hurtado de Corcuera

From the said day, the first of October, and thenceforth, all the
artillerymen of this city, the port of Cavite, and all the others
in all places outside this said city, shall receive one hundred and
seventy pesos of eight reals per annum, and no more; and the sum of
two hundred pesos that they received before shall cease.

All the corporals of all the companies outside of this city shall
receive and enjoy the same pay and additional pay as those of this
presidio of Manila, and no more.

The corporals from the nobility, [28] who have been in the forts of
Terrenate hitherto, and who have received more pay than the other
corporals of the companies, shall be dropped and removed, as they
are unnecessary.

Furthermore, all the companies which shall be serving in the said forts
shall each receive thirty ordinary escudos of ten reals, the same as
is received by the companies of this presidio; and they shall cease
to receive the thirty ducados of eleven reals which they had before.

The corporals of the companies of the Pampangos throughout these
islands shall receive and enjoy no additional pay for their office.

The pay of captain, alferez, and sergeant of the Pampango nation shall
be understood to be, for all those who serve in these islands, the
amount that is assigned in the articles of this revision, and no more.
