True enough! He is Governor, and everybody else must obey him! _Even the Admiral!_ At dawn Juan Lepe walked and thought.

And then he saw coming the Franciscan, Juan de Trasiena and Francisco Velasquez the Treasurer.

That which Juan de Trasiena and Francisco Velasquez brought were attested copies of the royal letters.
I saw them.

"Wherefore we have named Don Francisco de Bobadilla Governor of these islands and of the main land, and we command you, cavaliers and all persons whatever, to give him that obedience which you do owe to us." And to him, the new Governor: "Whomsoever you find guilty, arrest their persons and take over their goods." And, "If you find it to our service that any cavaliers or other persons who are at present in these islands should leave them, and that they should come and present themselves before us, you may command it in our names and oblige it." And, "Whomsoever you thus command, we hereby order that immediately they obey as though it were ourselves." "And if thus and thus is found to be the case, the said Admiral of the Ocean-Sea shall give into your hands, ships, fortresses, arms, houses and treasure, and he shall himself be obedient to your command." The Admiral said, "If it be found thus and thus! But how shall he find it, seeing that it is not so ?" We rode to San Domingo, but not many rode.

He would not have many.
