DOCUMENTO/DATA DE INSTITUIÇÃO: testamento aprovado em 1490-05-13, na vila do Funchal. Tabelião: João de Atouguia.
ENCARGOS (ANUAIS): missa quotidiana na capela do Espírito Santo, na Igreja de Santa Maria do Calhau, que manda construir com abóbada de cantaria e ornamentar com vestimentas e paramentos vários, como um cálice de prata dourada de dois marcos e meio com sua patana, frontal e seus mantos. A missa seria celebrada por um capelão “bom homem e de onesto viver”, com círios e tochas para as festas e domingos. Os mordomos da confraria de Santa Maria do Calhau receberiam 500 réis anuais, cabendo no administrador da capela 8.000 réis (20 cruzados); o remanescente da terça seria aplicado em missas por alma do testador e daqueles que o ajudaram a ganhar sua fazenda. Por sentença de abaixamento do bispo D. Luís de Figueiredo, datada de 1593-12-16, publicada em 1594-01-08 (f. 79 a 83), a pensão desta capela é reduzida a três missas semanais. A mesma sentença refere que o antecessor já havia reduzido a capela de doze para oito meses de missas. Por sentença de 1818-12-14 (f. 299-328) as capelas administradas pelo Visconde de Torre Bela são reduzidas à seguinte pensão: missa aos Domingos e dias santos (90 missas) celebrada por um capelão por 100.000 réis anuais; três missas de Natal por 2.400 réis; obras da capela do Carmo do Funchal conforme determinado pelo instituidor Manuel Martins Brandão; a capela de D. Isabel Bettencourt é reduzida a duas tochas para a Igreja da Câmara de Lobos e duas tochas para São Bernardino. Em 1854-07-14 (f. 96 a 97) o administrador obtém sentença de redução temporária dos encargos pios em atraso.
SUCESSÃO: designa por administrador da terça e seu testamento João Alves, criado de Rui Mendes, até seu filho António ter idade para casar. Pelo seu trabalho receberia 8.000 réis da renda da sua terça. Recomenda-lhe, ainda, que siga o conselho de Diogo de Barcelos e que este “seja pago”.
BENS VINCULADOS: terça dos seus bens móveis e de raíz. Determina que os escravos de sua terça devem servir sempre na fazenda da terça, bem como uma ou duas juntas de bois. Na aludida sentença de abaixamento (f. 80), o administrador Jorge Correia Neto, neto do instituidor, alega que, ao tempo da instituição, os bens da terça rendiam muitos mais, e que agora (1591) as fazendas não rendiam mais do que 12.000 réis e as esmolas pelas missas eram superiores. Já uns embargos interpostos em março de 1635 (f. 164), afirma-se que os bens da capela não rendem do que 11.500 réis anuais, razão pela qual o administrador contesta dizer o meio anual de missa por inteiro. A f. 215-216 consta uma conta desta capela desde o ano de 1690 a 1794, seguindo-se um rol dos rendimentos dos foros, incluindo as despesas efetuadas no conserto e restauro de telhados, abóbada e pinturas da capela. O referido documento refere que, e 1691, os serrados nada renderam por estarem plantados de vinha e, em 1692, renderam somente 6.350 réis de açúcar “por lhe dar o bicho nas canas”. Uma informação do administrador António Correia Bettencourt, datada em 1761-05-15 (f. 276) diz que os bens desta capela são uma fazenda em Câmara de Lobos, acima da ermida do Espírito Santo, que confronta pelo norte com fazenda dos religiosos de São Bernardino, sul com o caminho que vai para o lugar de Câmara de Lobos, leste com os mesmos religiosos e oeste com o Pico.
