the president and auditors, and some differences and discords have

arisen over it; therefore we decided among ourselves to lay the matter

before your Majesty, in order that you may declare and enforce your

pleasure; meanwhile the Audiencia will exercise the duties contested

and acts in this matter, and to declare whether the conferring of

the said offices belongs to the Audiencia, or to the president alone,

in order that our concord may be permanent, and that there shall be

no further occasion for disturbing it; for this condition of peace

is so important for your Majesty's service and the good of the land.
