This clause probably explains a peculiarity in the issue of Manrique de Lara’s commission. After the death of Quiroga, Nov. 20, 1594, Clement VIII issued to Manrique, Feb. 10, 1595, a commission subrogating him to Quiroga, with the same powers, for six months until further letters could be made out. Then, August 1, 1595, the full elaborate commission is made out, containing this clause (Bulario, loc. cit., 118, 119). The new clause must have evoked prolonged debate, requiring five months for its settlement.
