Chapel foundation deed

Chapel foundation deed by which D. Catarina de Sampaio Borges established a chapel, entailing to it a lease in Vila Nova de Anços ("Prazo do Campo da Mata") and determining that its revenues would support the celebration of a weekly perpetual mass for Pedro Borges Pessoa's soul, wherever its administrators desired. If her husband, António de Macedo Pereira, decided to erect a chapel inside his farmstead in Coimbra ("quinta de Verride"), the annual masses should be celebrated in it. She designated her stepson, Roque de Macedo Pereira Sampaio, to administrate it. When the time came, he would be succeeded by one of his sons.
António de Macedo Pereira and Catarina de Sampaio Borges also incorporated the improvements they had made in the farmstead of Verride in the entail administrated by António and commited themselves to annex to it other properties they would buy in the next 2 years. They appointed Roque de Macedo Pereira Sampaio to administrate that entail, obligating him and his successors to celebrate 12 annual masses for their souls.
The institutors decided that the chapel and that entail should always be administrated by the same person, after Roque's death.
Roque de Macedo Pereira Sampaio accepted this deed.
