To the pass Nombre de Dios, iron lances, iron halberds,

iron swords, iron shirts, iron helmets, destroy all gods.

                       In March 800 eaten with chilies.  

Omne regnum in se ipsum divisum desolabitur,

every kingdom divided

                 against itself falls to Smallpox ******.  

       Great stones attached

to their feet whipped as they hung,

            five thousand tortured, all being idolaters

not possible to proceed juridically against them,

                        impossible to finish in 20 years,

meanwhile all would go to hell

                   de Landa observes.  

That the custodians of a people so new to the faith

should become their executioners.

                         Whip necessary as bread    

El celeberrimo caso de 1562, a three-month Franciscan terror.
