5. The Pope may exhort and even oblige Christian princes to this work, by authority and money, to remove obstructions and to send true workers.
6. The Pope and princes should act in accord and harmony.
7. The Pope may distribute infidel provinces among Christian princes for this work.
8. In this distribution should be had in view the instruction, conversion, and interests of the infidels themselves, not the increase of honors, titles, riches, and territories of the princes.
9. Any incidental advantage which princes may thus gain is allowable; but temporal ends should be wholly subordinate, the paramount objects being the extending of the Church, the propagation of the Faith, and the service of God.
10. The lawful native kings and rulers of infidel countries have a right to the obedience of their subjects, to make laws, etc., and ought not to be deprived, expelled, or violently dealt with.
11. To transgress this rule involves injustice and every form of wrong.
12. Neither these native rulers nor their subjects should be deprived of their lands for their idolatry, or any other sin.
13. No tribunal or judge in the world has a right to molest these infidels for idolatry or any other sins, however enormous, while still infidels, and before they have voluntarily received baptism, unless they directly oppose, refuse, and resist the publication of the Gospel.
14. Pope Alexander VI., under whom the discovery was made, was indispensably obliged to choose a Christian prince to whom to commit these solemn obligations of the Gospel.
