Description

This image is illustrated in a chapter that discusses the Christian priests in the colonial government in Peru. The image depicts a Jesuit priest who the author praises for keeping true to his religious duties and being charitable and loving. The author previously criticized many priests for having abused their powers against the indigenous peoples of Peru. The priest is illustrated standing in front of a kneeling indigenous man whose hands are together in prayer as he makes a confession. The priest is handing a rosary to the man. There are words of dialogue written above the indigenous man which reads, Confiesame, padre, de todos mis pecados. No me preguntes de las uacas, ydolos, y por amor de Jesucristo y de s[u] madre Santa María, me apsolueme y no me eches por la puerta. Ten misericordia de mi ánima [I confess father, of all my sins, Do not ask me about the idol huaca, and for the love of Jesus Christ and your mother Saint Mary, support me and do not throw me out the door, have mercy on my soul]. The large caption at the bottom of the image reads, ci los dichos rrebrendos padres fuesen dotrinando euangelios y predicase paciones de jesucristo y de la uirgen maría y de todos los santos y día del Jjycio y de la sagrada sscritura, no se huyrían los yndios [if the said revered fathers were endowing gospels and preaching patrons of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary and all the saints and judgement day and sacred scriptrure, the indians would not flee].
