Translation
the Interpreters, and before me the Scribe received
the oath that he gave before God in whose existence
he believes under which he agreed to tell the truth
as he knew it and was asked: and being asked
in the same way as before the results
were the same, with Diego Ortiz saying that
he only understood a few words, because
now he does not speak the French language
as clearly as he spoke it on the post of Punta
Cortada--
The same Black Jaco was asked if
when they took his declaration the same
Diego Ortiz who is now present attended it? he said: that
no one was present except the Commander
and he who was writing and that he did not see Diego Ortiz
except when he brought him food and he
responds--
Immediately his Honor ordered that the said
black Jaco be taken away, and for the same
purpose he had the Black Juan Luis
