<p class="MsoNormal">Regarding chapter 3 of the aforementioned accusation, he
said that he had also confessed to the substance of this matter in his
spontaneous self-denunciation, which amounted to a criminal solicitation
subject to the Holy Office. In his view, it should not be considered more than
a minor matter, so that his self-confession did not go into greater detail about
the matter of this young woman. It was the result either of his agitation or a
lapse of memory or because it did not seem essential in such as trifling
matter. He concluded by saying that he did not think she could have lost her
virginity. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">And to the statements of this and the other witnesses
concerning this matter, he added that in the confessional there was no such
illicit touching.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Item: that she did not know Christian Doctrine.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">That Juan Santos, a married man of said pueblo of Noxtepeque
declared before said pastor (who signed it and wrote it by his own hand) that
the accused had solicited a niece of his named Juana Antonia and had taken her
from the confessional to his house and took her virginity on the pretext that
he was going to examine her knowledge of Christian doctrine; and that on
another day he sent a topil [servant] to get her. Her vigilant mother, having
followed them to the house of the accused and entering the bedroom, saw her
daughter on the bed with her petticoats lifted from behind and this criminal
menacing her with a whip. He attempted to mollify the mother in a low voice,
telling her that her daughter was an adult and that her </p>
