58. Item: Our Audiencia and the other magistrates of our said district shall see to it that in the towns which are not populated by Spaniards no bulls shall be published. They shall not permit Indians [280] to be compelled to hear the preaching of them, or to receive them. Those which are published from the pulpit shall be published in the Spanish language.
