But, inasmuch as there are certain special matters that perhaps he will not mention, I thought that I should inform your Majesty of them in the present letter.
Immediately upon the arrival of the royal Audiencia in these islands, mass was commenced to be said in the royal chapel.

According to the usual procedure in other audiencias, the chaplains who said it ended the prayer of the mass with that clause which reads, _et famulos tuos_, etc .-- in which, after the name of his Majesty, follow those of the bishop and the president, and the others contained in the said prayer.

According to what is said in this principal church of this city, the president and auditors erased the name of the bishop, and substituted those of the auditors, under the name of senators.

When I heard of this, I ordered my name to be inserted, and those of the auditors to be erased.

This gave rise to animosity, and certain acts were passed, which the dean declares were sent to the royal Council [of the Indias] a year ago.
Because I sat down one day on the gospel side of the principal altar during mass, the president and auditors took umbrage, and refused to enter the principal church again until I made them return to it.
