Luis de Velasco, viceroy of Peru between the years 1596 and 1604, is the one who signs this document that seeks a better administration. We can see that it is made known that it is not necessary to request probative documents that confirm provisions and decrees in favor of the indigenous people.

This order was printed in the first printing press in South America by Antonio Ricardo so that it is known throughout the viceroyalty of Peru.
