Opening deed of the codicil made by the deceased Mariana Cabral de Melo.

Will made by Francisco Machado de Faria and his wife Mariana Cabral de Melo in which they ordered, among other dispositions, the foundation of a chapel, with a perpetual obligation of 52 masses celebrated every year in the convent of Santo Agostinho in Ponta Delgada. They named their youngest son Inácio de Faria Machado to be the first administrator of the entail. If he ever wished to became a clergyman, the administration should be given to his brothers Manuel Pacheco de Melo e Faria, João Velho de Faria, Lourenço de Faria Machado and José de Faria Moniz, in this order, with the condition that each of them was obliged to became clergyman. After the death of all of their sons, the administration should be transmitted to Francisco Machado de Faria e Maia and his descendants after him, in ways that it should be always annexed to the entail founded by António Lopes de Faria.
