Notes

  • -  This is the cedula referred to in the previous letter (item 67). The archbishop had established a certain order of procession with various ranks of the friars interspersed among the various ranks of the beneficed clergy, but the cathedral chapter had commanded all of the friars to follow the prebendaries. This had resulted in some discontent, and when the procession was ready to leave the church, the archbishop ordered them to follow the custom of their predecessors. An open verbal dispute of such intensity broke out between the archbishop and the chapter that the royal judges, Licenciado Muñoz of the Council of the Indies and Dr. Carrillo, magistrate of the royal household, had to command that the archbishop's decision be carried out. To avoid recurrence of such a scandal, the King commands that they make an inquiry and report to him on what had been done previously in the city and that until he makes a decision, they should continue to follow their established custom without innovation.
