Law LXXV

The viceroy of Nueva España, and the governor and captain-general

of Filipinas, all other of our judges and magistrates, and private

individuals, each one in what pertains to him, shall observe, and cause

to be observed and fulfilled, the ordinances regarding this traffic

and commerce, and shall execute them exactly without remission or

dispensation. In their residencias, especial attention shall be paid

to their omission and neglect. We charge the archbishop of Manila to

exercise the same care in what shall be specially entrusted to him,

which is not repealed or altered by these laws. Of all, advice shall

be given us. [Felipe III--Valladolid, December 31, 1604.]
