El rey
Don Rodrigo de Borja Lanzol mi lugar teniente y Capitán General. Por parte de Don {Illegible name} y de Don Miguel Ferrandoll se me ha dado memorial reprefutando las descomodidades gastos y {illegible} en su reputación que han padecido en los procedimientos que se han hecho contra ellos sin haberse ejecutado de su orden la muerte que se les ha imputado. Y me suplican que mirando por su crédito sea servido mandarse a anular los bandos publicados y desembarguen y distribuyan sus bienes para que la satisfacción pública vuelva por ellos. Y antes de tomar resolución en la materia ha parecido encargar y mandaros, como lo hago, me informareys y digays v'ro parecer sobre todo ellos y si podra tener inconveniente el darles licencia para volver a su reino para que entendido mande lo que convenga.
