6. _The annoyances to the Indians from lawsuits and the preparation therefor._ Sixth: His Majesty should prevent the annoyances and troubles suffered by the Indians from the ministers of justice--alcaldes-mayor, deputies, notaries, and alguazils--by the many suits that they stir up among them, not only about events occurring since the advent of the Spaniards and a government, but also about events of former days, occurring in their heathen condition, and regarding their ancestors; these may be either civil or criminal. And these are not summary cases, but are conducted with all the preparation made in a chancilleria of España; and as the ministers of justice and their assistants are so many (and as there are so many alguazils, attorneys, secretaries, reporters, summoners, notaries, clerks, and servants of all these--_Madrid MS._), and the Indians are so poor, ignorant, and cowardly, the latter spend their entire substance (all they have is quickly consumed--_Madrid MS._), and they are left without any property or any conclusion to the suit, which keeps them frightened and uneasy. The encomenderos and ministers of instruction, who see the spiritual and temporal scandal occasioned to the Indians, desire that his Majesty remedy this; and the same is desired by the president and auditors--although one says that, without an order from his Majesty, no summary process can be conducted, but that justice must take its ordinary course. Chapter tenth. Of the advice necessary to the religious who come to Manila and go to other countries 1. _That the religious leave the islands for other countries without orders from the governor or bishop._ First: His Majesty should be informed of the disorder in these islands which arises from the religious being allowed to leave them whenever they wish, and for any place where they choose to go, and that they have gone four times, without permission of governor, bishop, or any other authority in the islands--saying that, by the full power given them by the pope, whosoever shall hinder them will be excommunicated. By these departures they have caused and are causing many losses, and are gathering no harvest of souls.
