The inspection of ships sailing from Nueva España to Filipinas shall

be made by our royal officials, according to custom. They shall

examine in great detail the lists of soldiers and sailors of the

ships, in order to abolish the places that shall be found without

justification; and they may proceed by law, when they discover any

infraction or fraud in this. Such shall be visited on the person

causing it, with the greatest severity. [Felipe III--Valladolid,
