v1.c27.71

1. From the Viceroy Dom Jeronymo d' Azevedo to King, Goa, December, 1613, Ap. B, No. XIV. It seems that Dom Jeronymo even proposed to abolish the Bishopric of St. Thome, for on March 2nd, 1615, Philip III wrote to him as follows: "Na mesma carta me pro-pondes que os bispados da China y Meliapor se devem tornar a unir aos de Malaca e Cochim......e por quanto os inconvenientes que aportaes nao me parecerem bastantes para alterar o que, tao pouco ha, tenho ordenado, hei por bem que assy se continue". Bulhao Pato, Documentos, III, p. 284.
