  • -  The King has been advised that, although some of the Indians are good Christians and have the capacity to receive the Sacrament of Communion, it is not given to them. After consideration, the Council of the Indies has decided that for the spiritual good of the Indians, they should charge the archbishop to do what seems best for the service of God and the salvation of his flock and to report on what he has done.
