Papeles que se enviaron en 1626 para que hayan fiscales en las doctrinas

The document presents several reasons against changing the current oversight system in religious administration for the indigenous population, emphasizing that the existing system has effectively served the community for years and any alteration could harm their spiritual welfare. It argues that the "fiscal" is vital to the minister and should be chosen based on personal knowledge and experience to ensure effective governance, as well as necessary virtues and authority. Additionally, transitioning to a new system is expected to create legal disputes and expenses that would burden the indigenous people, undermining their relationships with ministers. The authors urge a postponement of the royal decree mandating new fiscal appointments until further informed discussions can take place with royal authorities. This text is in the volume with the title "Varios Informes" / Collection of documents concerned chiefly with the welfare of the natives of the Philippine Islands in the seventeenth century. Comprises 117 leaves, exclusive of blanks; some of the leaves are regular folio size, some slightly shorter, and some quarto. Original vellum binding with the above title inscribed on the spine.
