hunt after having relinquished the 
ceremony of the Demon, commit- 
ting (the chase) to God. 
After being cured by the doctor 
and. having become reconvalescent, 
did you prepare food of a sort of cakes 
or fritters (‘‘de tortas 6 gacha’’) 
or of other things and did you 
halloo to the doctor ‘‘that he cured 
you,’’ supposing that if you did not 
do so, the disease would reappear ? 
Did you order that the bones of 
the game must not be thrown away, 
unless the game would no longer 
enter into the snare or trap, but that 
they must be hung up or placed 
upon the roof of the house (en las 
palmas de la casa) ? 
Before hunting some antelope did 
you take the antlers of another ante- 
lope and pray over them the Demon’s 
prayers ? 
You must abandon with the force 
of your will all (pagan) ceremonies, 
superstitions, auguriums, dreams, 
sortileges, cursings, maledictions, 
visions and lies, for all these things 
have been taught by the Devil, who 
is the father and root of the lie, to 
your ancestors and to your priests ; 
and after you have rejected all these 
things by the force of your will, you 
must embrace the law of God and 
take up all its precepts. 
All of it must be believed and 
observed.

(Priest.) Maria ! do you want this 
Pedro for your legitimate husband 
by actual declaration, as our mother, 
the Holy Catholic Apostolic Roman 
Church, requires it, and will you 
declare it by saying so? 
(Reply.) Yes, I say so.
