Note 85 — Chapter XXIII
Reading edition
Religious were firmly established in Macabebe. This is, in my opinion, the finest priorate of all Pampanga, and the chief one. It lies on a branch of the Candava River, as above stated; and in the middle of the road has a very good wooden house and church. Three religious lived there generally, for it had more than one thousand three hundred Indians. A visita [244] called Minalampara was taken away from it, which is a vicariate. With that the said town of Macabebe was left with about one thousand Indians.85 Two religious live there generally.
