Notes

  • -  The King had been advised of irregularities in the ceremonies in the cathedral of Mexico. The canons were refusing to dress as deacons but were sending in their place prebendaries to say the Gospel, and for the Epistle they were sending half-prebendaries. The half-prebendaries had formerly accompanied the celebrant when he went to the sacristy to get the cope for the prayer at Vespers, but now they want chaplains to do so; at times the celebrant is accompanied only by altar boys. The King charges the archbishop to keep in mind the proper observance and to see that the services are carried out with propriety.
