Spanish term or phrase: "Su Señoría". Is. Filipinas, 1782
Documentos sobre el monopolio del tabaco en las Filipinas durante el siglo XVIII y XIX.

I'm not sure as to what English title would be appropriate for "su Señoría" in this context.

"Muy ilustre Señor Don Joseph Basco y Vargas.
Muy Ilustre Señor: Los Directores de la Renta del tabaco dicen que necesitan tener en estas oficinas testimonio del expediente de la contrata de tabaco del Bando ultimamente publicado (...) Dirección General de la renta del tabaco de Manila y Junio veinte y cinco de mil setecientos ochenta y dos. Juan Antonio Panelo. Juan de Urrengoechea y Arrinda.--------------------------------------------------

- Real Palacio de Manila, primero de julio de mil setecientos ochenta y dos. Rubricado de **su Señoría**.----
- Con esta fecha se despachó el testimonio que ha pedido la Dirección general de la Renta del tabaco. Manila diez y siete de Agosto de mil setecientos ochenta y dos.-------- "

¡gracias!

English translation:His Lordship
Explanation:
My level of confidence is low, but this is a possibility. The DRAE does not define specifically which rank of nobility or position is addressed as "Su Señoría".

a title used to address any British peer except a duke and extended to a bishop or a judge; "Your Lordship"; "His Lordship"
the authority of a lord

François Thibault: "His Lordship" vs. "The Honorable Lord"
I hold a Grant of Arms from the King of the West. In the West, the form of address used for a GoA is "His Lordship" . In much of the rest of the Known Worlde (including, apparently, the East, where I am now), it's "The Honorable Lord". I have decided to stick with "His Lordship", because, to me, "The Honorable Lord" sounds like it's saying that someone with a mere Award of Arms is not honorable. To me, this is discourteous.

(Plus, it lends itself to a joke: right after I received the GoA, a friend said, "François! You're a boat!". :-)

Of course, this isn't a major point; addressing people by title is' fairly rare anyway. In a formal context (listing me in a newsletter, calling me into Court), I might try to make a point of it; and, if the person referring to me refused to use "His Lordship", I might ask to be referred to simply as "Lord".

\'Subsequent inspection of the original file revealed that orders were signed by his Honour on 7 May 2002\'.

In English it\'s almost always immediately followed by a name or title, but it sometimes stands alone.
