This chapter focuses on discussing the arrival of Spaniards and the Spanish conquest of Peru. This image illustrated the Inca emperor, Manco Inca, attempting to set a Christian temple on fire to regain control of Cusco. There is a cross on the roof and on the altar inside the temple to demonstrate that it is a Christian space. The author explains that the temple was called Cuyus Manco, the house of the Inca, until the Spaniards took it from them and converted it to a Christian temple. Manco Inca and his two soldiers are illustrated with a surprised expression due to the temple not catching on fire. This was taken as a sign from God that the church was now established within the kingdom. The caption at the top of the image below the heading reads, a la santa crus [cross] hizo milago dios y no se quemo [With the Holy Cross God performed a miracle and it did not burn]. The caption at the bottom of the image reads, en el cuzco [In Cusco].
