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, 

 & 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 Judge, the kings Attourney, and as many as did 

 take their parts. So the citizens of Guadalajara with- 

 stood the viceroies forces, & put themselves in defence ; 

 and are up in armes against the viceroy : yet they do 

 not rebel against the king, but say : God save king 

 Philip, and wil submit themselves to his Majestie, but 

 not to the viceroy. So that all the kingdome of Guadala- 

 jara is up in armes, and are all in a mutinie against us 

 of Mexico. I beseech Almighty God to remedy it, and 

 that it may be qualified in time : or else all Nova Spania 

 wil be utterly spoiled. I write this thing, because it is 

 publiquely knowen in all places. And thus I rest, from 

 Mexico the 30. of May 1590.
