"Venerable Masters and beloved brethren. After our circular of the 28th

of May last it would seem unnecessary to remind you, that you give

the most exact fulfillment to those points which the same embraces,

the which were approved by the Grand Assembly celebrated on the 15th

of the same month; but nevertheless, as the time of our cause has

assured and all provision is but little in the present moments, it has

appeared well to us to direct this other circular to you in order to

fix more correctly the points which have to be the object of the most

exact fulfillment. We will now pass on to the enumeration of the same.

First: The triangles will perform strictly all and every one of the

dispositions dictated by their respective presidents, and venerable

honorary brethren, not allowing the least or most insignificant point

to slip their observation, for even when it seems to our venerable

brethren otherwise, it is of the greatest transcendency.

"The smallest omission in these dispositions might prejudice in a

great manner our labors, the fruit of many years of constancy and

hope of a sure triumph.

"Second: Once the signal is given every bro. shall fulfill the duty

imposed upon him by this Gr. Reg. Log. without considerations of any

kind, neither of parentage, friendship or gratitude, etc.

"Third: Those who on account of debility, cowardice or other

considerations do not fulfill their duty, already know the tremendous

punishment they will incur for disloyalty and disobedience to this

G. R. Log.

Fourth: The blow having been struck at the Captain General and the

other Spanish Authorities, the loyals shall attack the convents

and shall behead their infamous inhabitants, respecting the wealth

contained in the said convents; this shall be gathered by the

commissions named for that purpose by the G. R. Log. and it shall

not be lawful for any of our brethren to possess themselves of what

justly belongs to the treasury of the G. N. F. (Grand Filipino Nation)

"Fifth: Those who fail to carry out what is set forth in the foregoing

paragraph shall be held as malefactors and subjected to exemplary

punishment by this G. R. Log.

"Sixth: On the following day the bro. designated shall bury all the

bodies of their hateful oppressors in the field of Bagumbayan together

with their wives and children, and on the site shall later on be

raised a monument commemorative of the independence of the G. N. F.

"Seventh: The bodies of the members of the Religious Orders shall

not be buried, but burned in just payment of the felonies which they

committed during life against Filipino nation during the three hundred

years of their nefarious domination. (see note 26.)

"And whilst awaiting the day of our redemption this executive

commission shall continue giving the sure guide which we all have

to follow in the presence of the facts to the end that none of our

brethren shall be able to say that they were unwarned.
