Description: This image is illustrated in a chapter that discusses the Christian priests in the colonial government in Peru. This image depicts a parish priest in colonial Peru standing in the centre of the image dressed in fine clothing. The parish priests wished to be rich lords and to be dressed in silks. The author criticizes the parish priests for this as Jesus Christ sought to teach and did not care for silks, and that the parish priests should follow in his example.
