Note 3 — Law IV
Reading edition
The licenses that the governor of Filipinas shall issue so that some Sangley Chinese may remain in the islands, shall be with the consent of our royal officials, and account shall be rendered of all. The money resulting therefrom (eight pesos for each license) shall be placed in our royal treasury. A separate book shall be kept there, and names and marks [of identification?] shall be entered in it distinctly, so that there may be no concealment.3 [Felipe III—Madrid, January 12, 1614. Felipe IV—Madrid, November 21, 1625.]
