We order the viceroys of Nueva España to maintain very special care

of the observance and execution of the ordinances for the commerce

of the Filipinas line, established by the laws of this titulo; and

to keep at the port of Acapulco, in addition to the royal officials

who shall be there, a person of great honesty and trustworthiness,

with the title of alcalde-mayor, so that everything be done with very

great caution, and justice be observed. He shall not permit more

silver to be taken to Filipinas than that conceded by these laws,

with or without license. [Felipe III--Valladolid, December 31, 1604.]
