This image demonstrates a young man kneeling before his father to show his respect. The young man’s Spanish father is depicted sitting on a large chair on the right side of the image holding a rosary in his left hand and pointing to his son in an authoritative manner with his right. The son is holding a rosary in his left hand and his hat in his right as he looks to the ground in respect for his father. The author urges his Christian readers to have respect for their fathers, mothers, God, and to the king. The caption at the top of the image reads, “Que tenian los hombres y mugeres antigos de la conquista: de ueynte anos andaua cin capa y cin sonbrero los espanoles y indios y el buen egenplo de Caton de Roma tenia los yndios deste rreyno” [Among the men and women in the old time of the conquest, to the age of twenty, Spaniards and Indians wore no cape or hat, and the Indians of this kingdom kept the good example of Cajetan of Rome].
