_That dowries be established here, so that some women may be married every year._ Eighth: For a larger and better settlement and increase, his Majesty should provide for this land dowries and alms--amounting to four hundred or five hundred pesos, or thereabout, as may seem advisable to his Majesty--so that every year ten, fifteen, or twenty women, brought from Espana, may be married to the common people of these islands, such as soldiers and others, that thus the country may secure an increase of population--which it has not at present, for lack of women and marriages.

_That there be dowries so that Indian women may be married to poor Spaniards._ Ninth: His Majesty should assign other and lesser dowries, so that the Indian women may be married to poor Spaniards (soldiers and sailors) of the lower rank.

In both these ways the country may be increased, in these regions so remote and so lacking in people.

_That offices be not sold._ Tenth: His Majesty should know that it has been proposed and intended here to have all the offices sold; and, if his Majesty desire this increase, it is all the more important not only that he should order that no more be sold, but that even, if possible, those offices which were sold should be bought back.

All the offices should be given to those who come here, and remain in lands so remote and of so few advantages.
