We trust your lordship will not break the peace existing for so many years between the crowns of the most exalted Kings of Great Britain and of Portugal, nor act contrary thereto. Principally we do so because the inhabitants of this town have given no occasion, but have conducted themselves under every circumstance that has arisen as trusty friends. However, if your lordship comes to the determination to act contrary to all these arguments, and break off the friendship between the two crowns and between us, we protest not once only, but several times, as is required by law, on behalf of the King of Portugal and on the part of the town, against all the injury and damage that may thereby result. Your lordship will have to render a full account thereof to the most exalted King of Great Britain, before whom our complaint will be carried, if your lordship acts to the prejudice of the King of Portugal and of this town. We ask him in all earnestness that he be pleased to accept this protest which we offer to him in all good faith, to the end of securing justice and our rights. At San Thome, this 22nd of February, 1702. Dom Gaspar Alfonso, Bishop of Meliapur. - [Previous: 294.1.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.294.1.1) - [Next: 294.1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.294.1.3) - [Up: 294.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.294.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.294.1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.294.1.2) · Pramāṇa
