An account of the first voyages and discoveries made by the Spaniards in America containing the most exact relation hitherto publish'd, of their unparallel'd cruelties on the Indians, in the destruction of above forty millions of people : with the propositions offer'd to the King of Spain to prevent the further ruin of the West-Indies

V Proposition.
The Pope by the Authority which Jesus Christ has given him upon Earth, ought to exhort Chri∣stian Princes to contribute all their Assistance to re∣move the Obstructions that impede the publication of the Christian Faith; to employ their Mony in advancing this Work, and to send such of their Sub∣jects as are capable of instructing Infidels. The Pope may moreover in some sort oblige all Chri∣stians in general, according to their ability, to bear the necessary Charges of those Missionaries in so pious a Work, as occasion may require.
