Code entry
The second kind of grant to a doctrina was for religious supplies. The Franciscans of the original apostolic mission to Florida were guaranteed a supply of wine and olive oil for divine worship even before they left Spain. By a cedula of 1573 the Crown promised each fraile de misa one and a half arrobas of sacramental wine a year for six years and enough oil collectively to keep the lamp of the Blessed Sacrament burning. This too represented a sizeable expenditure. (Bushnell SS)
