_To whom it is permitted to trade and traffic in the Filipinas

Islands._

By the aforesaid decree, it is permitted solely to the citizens of

the said islands, for the space of six years. This license is not to

be renewed, and trade and commerce is unqualifiedly prohibited to any

other person whatsoever of the Western Indias, under the penalty of

and Nueva España engage in trade, and they send their money in the

ships going from Nueva España--some registered, and some secretly.
