Moreover, besides the indulgence and special favours set down in the abovem-entioned Papal grant, we impart to the said Confraternity a share in all the masses, prayers, mortifications, pilgrimages, and other good works performed throughout the whole world by the several religious orders of Benedictions, Bernardins, Dominicans, Franciscans, Carmelites, Theatins, and Fathers of the Society of Jesus, pursuant to the power we have received thereunto from the superiors of the said orders, as may be seen in the authentic deeds belonging to our Arch-confraternity, and lodged in our archives.
