1. This good woman's husband was named Diego Gomez. He was old and crippled, and at that time was very ill at a farm, with a friar of the order of Santo Domingo. It seemed to Aguirre that the old man had participated with his wife in the treason of Villena, so he sent his head-constable, Paniagua, to strangle him, which he did, taking with him, as an assistant, a Portuguese soldier, named Manuel Baeza, with two others. When they had killed the old man, the friar, it would appear, blamed them, or else, to give pleasure to their general (who hated priests), they strangled the friar on their own account. They buried both in one grave, returning to Aguirre with an account of what they had done, which gave him great satisfaction. Aguirre also had great pleasure in killing another religious man of the same order, of an exemplary life, and much beloved in the island. He had confessed to this friar, more out of form than for the health of his soul, and, in discharging his conscience, the friar severely reprehended him, and, with holy exhortation, urged him, as he was bound to do, to step aside from the evil road he was going, and to follow that of God and his king, and not to have the weight of so many murders on his conscience. This exhortation was a bitter draught, and the good inspirations that God offers to those who have turned their backs upon him, are not heeded by them, but rather held in hatred, and they will not see, or take counsel (as those that are blind) of those who put these lights before them.
