PREFACE
199/239

For great frauds are wont to ensue in that, and the laws punish and prohibit such acts as you are advised.

For greater justification in the matter, the above shall be set forth as a clause in the patents made out for each one of these collectors, with a penalty of four times the amount of any excess that they might obtain."] 36th.

All the letters and decrees directed to this royal Audiencia, and your Majesty's orders therein, will be punctually fulfilled, although in the sale of offices, the city declares that it has sent a petition to your Majesty with representations of the justice in not diminishing here the little that there is with which to reward services.

However, those that might bring a considerable price will be sold, and likewise those that might cause no great difficulty.
[_Marginal note_: "It is well.

In these matters of difficulties, you shall observe the order written to you in the preceding section."] 37th.
