Scope and content

Will made by padre Manuel Gonçalves, in which he ordered, among several other dispositions, the foundation of an entail and chapel with a perpetual mass obligation of one daily mass celebrated on this chapel, invocation of Jesus Christ, in the mother church of Crato.
He left very detailed instructions for the ornate of the chapel, detailing all silverware, trousseau, garments, and altarpiece. He named his father, Domingos Gonçalves, as first administrator during his lifetime, with the condition he would complete the construction and ornamentation of the chapel. After his death, the administration would be handed to the institutor's sister, Catarina Gonçalves, who would appoint a fine and decent clergyman to celebrate the masses, one that must not be hebrew, moorish or mulatto descendancy, nor descend of, any "drunken man".
After the death of Catarina, the succession would always continue, preferably, on the eldest male heir. However, if she died without children, the administration would be handled to the same chaplain who celebrated the masses, to be elected by the local vigário and beneficiados in a voting session which would be based on the use of withe and dark beans to elect potential candidates.
