Description: This image is illustrated in a chapter that discusses the Christian priests in the colonial government in Peru. This image depicts a vicar who the author praises for keeping true to his religious duties. The author criticized many priests for having abused their powers against the indigenous peoples of Peru. The vicar in this image is depicted protecting an indigenous man. He is handing him a letter that reads, mandamiento de anparo confiad [mandate of protection, confidential]. There are words written by the vicar’s head that read, caymi, churi, quilcayqui [here you go, my son, your message]. The vicar passes the man the note as he rests his hand on his head for blessing.
