Abstract: Statement by missionaries in the Philippines setting conditions for making war on native groups. They insist that war should not be undertaken for tribute or conquest alone, but only after peaceful methods of persuasion and conversion have failed. The document reflects growing debates between religious orders and secular authorities over the just use of force in extending Spanish rule.
