This can be testified to and proved by the said Lord Bishop, for he had the Brief in his possession. The Lord Dom Gaspar Affonço was the authority to whom the Lord Patriarch was required to show his powers in this country. Hence all that the said Lord Patriarch did is valid, and must be respected and obeyed. The fathers of Madras named in the Pastoral are not absolved, for that pastoral is founded on wrong information sent to him by them. Were the Lord Primate rightly informed, he would never have given them absolution. It is to be clearly seen from the pastoral itself, in which the said Lord is cited to appear, and he is called on to show his powers, sed sic est \[but so it is\], that he did show them, and they are at this moment in the hands of the Lord Bishop Dom Gaspar Affonço. Thus it is certain that this act validates all the Patriarch did and shall hereafter do. São Thome, on the 2nd of February of 1705. (Signed) Dom Guilhelmo de La Valle.
