[The above document is followed by one entitled, “Title of governor
and captain-general of the island of Cubu to Miguel Lopez de
Legazpi.” It is almost word for word the same as the document
presented in our VOL. III, pp. 62–66 (the few verbal differences not
at all changing the sense in any way), but it bears a date eight days
prior to that of the above-mentioned document. The ending of this
document is as follows: “Neither you nor they shall act contrary to
this under any consideration, under penalty of loss of our favor and of
a fine of one thousand gold castellanos to be paid to our exchequer and
treasury. Given at Madrid, August six, one thousand five hundred and
sixty-nine.
