The other newes that I can certifie you of at this instant is, that
there is a Iudge of the city of Guadalajara called don Nunno de villa
Inscensia lately maried. Also the kings Atturney of Guadalajara maried
his daughter of 8. yeres old with a boy of 12. yeres old. But the
Viceroy saith that he hath a warrant from his Maiestie, that if any
Iudge whatsoeuer dwelling in that kingdome of Guadalajara should mary
any sonne in that iurisdiction, that then the said Viceroy is to depriue
him of his office. And therefore he went about to depriue the Iudge and
the kings Attourney of their offices. [Sidenote: A dangerous rebellion
in Guadalajara a prouince of Noua Hispania.] Whereupon the people of
that prouince would not thereunto consent, nor suffer them to be
dismissed of their offices, nor to be arrested, nor caried prisoners to
Mexico. When the viceroy had intelligence thereof, and that the Countrey
did resist his commandement, and would not suffer them to be
apprehended, he sent certaine Captaines with souldiers to goe and
apprehend the Iudge, the kings Attourney, and as many as did take their
parts. So the citizens of Guadalajara withstood the viceroies forces,
and put themselues in defence; and are up in armes against the viceroy:
yet they do not rebel against the king, but say: God saue king Philip,
and will submit themselues to his Maiestie, but not to the viceroy. So
that all the kingdome of Guadalajara is vp in armes, and are all in a
mutinie against vs of Mexico. I beseech Almighty God to remedy it, and
that it may be qualified in time: or else all Noua Spania will be
vtterly spoiled. I write this thing, because it is publiquely knowen in
all places. And thus I rest, from Mexico the 30. of May 1590.
