with the duties of the offices of alcaldes to which they had been
elected: to guard carefully and faithfully the welfare of this munici-
pality; to obey and enforce the laws as they were obligated; and to
work, personally and through the citizens of this jurisdiction, for the
propagation of our holy faith and for the defense of this province.
Furthermore, out of respect for the Most Holy Virgin, they vowed
to defend that she was conceived from the beginning without the
stain of original sin to be the mother of God. In order that this might
be of record, the said alcaldes signed it with the said junior regidor
before me, the notary. I certify.

A true copy of the original [record] of the election, which is in
the register of the Very Illustrious Cabildo. By order of the said
Illustrious Cabildo and in their presence, I made this literal copy,
which they ordered be sent to the deputy [captain] general, Captain
Don Joaquin de Orobio y Basterra, for his confirmation. It is an
accurate and true copy, proofread, and corrected, and on common
paper because stamped paper is not in use [here]. It was copied
today, the fourteenth of January of this year of one thousand seven
hundred fifty. I certify.
I affixed my signor in witness of the truth:
