of his royal majesty, King Don Felipe, in every possible way not at variance with his own interests, I have in all respects thus carried out his commands and all the stipulations of the treaty; while his grace has violated the same in so many ways, principally in making traffic, on behalf of Nova Espanha, of gold and drugs from this region within our demarcation—­a thing forbidden in specific terms in the treaty.  This does not harmonize with what his grace says about stress of weather and the lack and necessity of ships—­for one who has been engaged in traffic knows the remedy for such cases, and his grace did traffic in our gold and drugs, and sent for reenforcements, by the fleet—­a thing which, likewise, does not harmonize with his affirmations.  For, the fewer people the ships contained on coming from Nova Espanha, the better could his grace lodge himself therein with all his camp, there being none in the whole voyage to obstruct his way provided they had sufficient crews.  But God exists, and heaven cannot be covered with a sieve; nor are there diseases of the eye so serious as to be able to hinder the perception of a thing so evident.  His grace is condemned by his own captains for his transgressions against the treaty, while he himself admits that his instructions forbid him to enter our demarcation.  And although, in view of the above, I was released from obligation to do him any favor, yet I have been begging him for a considerable time to make use both of me and of this fleet, since he himself possesses none, and to depart therein upon his way.  Nor is it reasonable that his grace should depart alone in any of these ships; and he must be out of his senses, after staying here four years, to undertake to wait four more in this land of the king, our lord—­for that is the least time in which ships can be constructed in Nova Espanha for him to depart in; and this season there could reach him only the patache “San Joan,” and some ship or other from Peru, a very small conveyance for so large a camp.  Wherefore I beg him as a favor, and summon him, once and many times, to depart in this fleet belonging to the king, our lord,—­or, better, to his majesty—­together with all the people of his highness, inasmuch as this tends to the latter’s service; for this is the easiest and best remedy, to depart from our conquest, and observe, at least, in part, the treaty.  Likewise, I again request him to come with all his camp to this fleet, that we may both continue together the work of propagating our holy Catholic faith, and destroying the sect of Mafamede [Mahomet] in Maluco, Java, and Acheen; for as this work is so pleasing to God, it should be likewise so to so Christian a sovereign as is his majesty.  And—­in payment for the many times when the kings of Purtugual went to Castella to render aid to her sovereigns against the Moors who were warring against them—­it would be better for us to join our forces, and change our hostility to friendship, as the battle of Selado,
