We have indeed learned that you [Spain], who for a long time had intended to seek out and discover certain islands and mainlands remote and unknown and not hitherto discovered by others, to the end that you might bring to the worship of our Redeemer and the profession of the Catholic faith their residents and inhabitants …you, chose our beloved son, Christopher Columbus… whom you furnished with ships and men equipped for life designs …to make diligent quest for these remote and unknown mainlands and islands through the sea[.]

They …discovered certain very remote island and even mainlands that hitherto had not been discovered by others; wherein dwell very many peoples living in peace, and, as reported, going unclothed, and not eating flesh.

Moreover we command you in virtue of holy obedience that, employing all due diligence in the premises …you should appoint to the aforesaid mainlands and islands worthy, God-fearing, learned, skilled, and experienced men, in order to instruct the aforesaid inhabitants and residents in the Catholic faith and train them in good morals.”
