Notes

  • -  The King is responding to three letters of the archbishop dated February 4, 1561, in which the latter complained about four royal cedulas: 1) regarding ordination of friars, 2) regarding royal approval for synodal acts, 3) prohibiting him from putting his attorneys in towns other than Mexico City, and 4) prohibiting him from excommunicating for slight causes and from imposing pecuniary fines. The King tells the archbishop that his arguments have been considered, but that, since the cedulas were well considered beforehand and were issued for all the prelates of the Indies, he is ordering them to be reissued. Regarding the ordination of friars, he is to ordain those who present certification of having been examined by their superiors; otherwise he can examine them or have them examined and ordain those whom he finds able.
