Thus shall you declare in the assembly, and in like cases.

Let the Audiencia observe the decrees and ordinances given that order the captain-general to try military persons and their criminal causes, just as and in the form ruled by the said decrees.

Let the Audiencia report why it prevented the execution of the sentence against that man."] 16th.

If for such things, and others like them, the Audiencia petition (as they are doing) for power to convoke the people, since as yet has not happened, and, God helping, will not happen what they suppose can occur--namely, that I will hinder them from the exercise of their duties and the execution of such of their provisions as concern them--let your Majesty determine whether their demand is well directed.

Let your Majesty also consider the evidence and rectitude that I have, other than they have, for having the greater authority in matters touching the Sangleys and their Parian; since for this they give as an argument that it would be advisable for them to have that jurisdiction, in order to expel and drive out of the country those whom it will need for its quiet and security, so that no other insurrection might happen, as in the term of Don Pedro de Acuna--as if that did not even more concern the governor and captain-general.
