_ 417 _ of expenses which should not be avoided, I will always ask for satisfaction for those who serve well. Because it is of importance for Your Highness to send me advice as to what you wish to be done about John Ferruja, who is here, and what those in Cairo are to do, I again request Your Highness to send me a reply by the first messenger. Since according to Isac, the Licenciate Silva is a Christian, it seems wise to order that Isac should move to be the one residing in Aleppo. He deserves a salary, and it must be given to him with the first certain information we receive from him. It should not be more than five hundred for him to pay the necessary expenses for sending information. As I understand from João, that Mathias Becudo does not know the language, it seems that we cannot do without Isac. The briefs I have recently requested from His Holiness, about minor orders not being valid in certain cases, and another one about ecclesiastics being able to hold and accept offices from Your Highness and sit on your councils and vote even if criminal cases are concerned, are granted and will go by the first messenger. May Our Lord
