[_Endorsed_: "Governor of Philipinas; to his Majesty, June 30, 1636;

no. 14; government."]

[_Endorsed_: "December 16, 1637. Tell him that his zeal and solicitude

for the profit of his Majesty's treasury are appreciated; but that

this measure seems to be an innovation, and not quite in accordance

with law. Accordingly the religious are not without reason for

opposing it. Tell him that if any difficulties arise from this,

and it shall not be established and current with the consent of all,

he shall avoid levying this impost, and shall render account to the

Council of what he shall have done."]
