Don Gabriel de Ocana y Alarcon

The King. To the officials of my royal treasury of the Filipinas

Islands: inasmuch as it was reported in my royal Council of the Yndias

that the bishop of Camarines resides in that city of Manila, where he

attempts to hold his court under pretext of certain appeals, I charge

him, by another decree of the date of this, to go immediately to his

own church, because of the deficiency that his person may cause in

its government. In order that he may offer no excuse in this matter,

I order you to grant him nothing from my royal treasury on his

salary, unless he shall obey my orders; for so is my will. Madrid,

July 8, 1639.
