"...Does any of you know why it is that they behave this way? And when they answered him: 'No, unless it be that they are innately cruel and evil'. He replied: 'It is not simply that. They have a God whom they worship and adore, and it is in order to get that God from us...that they conquer and kill us'. He had beside him as he spoke a basket filled with gold jewelry.

Con esto quiero acabar, hasta que vengan nuevas dem谩s egregias en maldad (si m谩s que 茅stas pueden ser) cosas, o hasta que que volvamos all谩 a verlas de nuevo, como cuarente y dos a帽os ha que las veemos por los ojos que, seg煤n creo y tengo por cierto, que tantas son las perdiciones, da帽os, destruciones, desploblaciones, estragos, muertes y muy grandes crueldades horribles y especies fe铆simas dellas, violencias, injusticias y robos y matanzas que en aquellas gentes y tierras se han hecho (y a煤n se hacen hoy en todas aquellas partes de las Indias), que en todas cuantas cosas he dicho y cuanto lo he encarecido, no he dicho ni encarecido, en calidad ni en cantidad, de diez mil partes (de lo que se ha hecho y hace hoy) una.
With this I want to end, until even more evil things come to pass (if that is even possible), or until we return there to see it anew, as it has been forty two years since we have seen it with our own eyes, in short I believe and I hold as a certainty, that so many are the ruinations, damages, destructions, depopulations, devastations, deaths, and very great and horrible cruelties and ugly deeds that have been committed (and are still being committed today in some parts of the Indies), that in all these things that I have said and implored, I have not said nor implored, neither in quality or quantity, of ten thousand parts (of what has been done and is being done today) one.
