under penalty of a fine of two
thousand Castilian ducados and deprivation of the temporalities, and
of being exiled from my kingdoms. Although he was notified, he always
remained rebellious and obstinate against fulfilling it. Therefore,
it was declared by a third letter and royal decree, which was issued
and despatched on the eighth of the said month and year, that he
had incurred the said fine of the two thousand Castilian ducados,
exile from my kingdoms, deprivation from all the temporalities that he
possesses and enjoys, and exclusion from them. As the said Don Pedro
de Monrroy has absented and hidden himself, its execution has not been
entirely carried out in regard to expelling him from the country. It
is advisable to make the necessary efforts, both that the aforesaid
decree may be made public in the said city, and that what has been
enacted may be executed. Therefore, the matter having been examined
by the president and auditors in the said my royal Audiencia, it was
resolved that I ought to order this my letter and royal decree to
be issued. By it I order and command that it be proclaimed publicly
in the city of Manila, in its public places, that all its citizens,
residents, and inhabitants shall consider the said Don Pedro de
Monrroy as exiled from my kingdoms; and, as such, that they treat
him both in regard to any offices or dignities in which he may be
serving, and in all other things regulated by law, as a rebel to my
royal mandates; and they shall not receive or conceal him in their
houses, or in any other place, nor shall they aid or protect him,
so that he may be hidden--under penalty of a fine of two thousand
Castilian ducados for my royal-exchequer, to which I shall consider
as immediately condemned whomsoever shall do the contrary. Further,
they shall be proceeded against by the whole rigor of the law, as
against receivers and concealers of persons exiled from my kingdoms,
and declared as such. I request and charge the superiors of the
orders of this city, and outside the city, and other ecclesiastical
person not to admit him into the city under any consideration, with
warning that I shall consider myself disserved if such be done, and
if more can be done in law, it is ordered to be provided as the most
advisable remedy, inasmuch as it is thus fitting for my service, and
my authority, protection, defense, and the conservation of my royal
jurisdiction. Given at Manila, September twenty-five, one thous
