day on which the said Miguel Lopez de Leguazpi passed to the west of the said line with his fleet.  And likewise I declare that, inasmuch as this fleet contains more soldiers than men of letters, all summons, declaration, and protestation befitting the right and justice of the king, our lord, and of his descendants and kingdoms, shall be held as made and truly and completely declared, demanded, summoned, alleged, and protested, without any lack or failure, whatsoever.  And neither his royal majesty, nor any or all successors to the kingdom of Castella shall have the right to require or summon the Portuguese to deliver to them their lands and conquest of the said West; or demand any payment or satisfaction whatsoever for the losses, damages, deaths, or deprivations of property occurring to the disobedient camp and fleet, or to any others who, subsequently arriving, are subject to the foregoing.  For others have already come to these parts who pretended to be filled with brotherly love and affection, but did not prove this by their actions—­inasmuch as they did very great injury to the property of the king our lord, and of his vassals, without the king’s receiving any compensation therefor from his illustrious highness.  No doubt should be entertained regarding the interlineation where the word justica ["justice”] occurs.  This day, the twenty-first day of the month of October, in the year one thousand five hundred and sixty-eight.

Gonzalo Pereira.
