pestilencia socedió la pestilencia que agora actualmente reina, donde ha muerto gran cantidad de gente y se han despoblados muchos pueblos. Y el negocio va muy adelante. Si tres o cuatro meses dura corno agora va, no quedará nadie. Y la profecía de que atrás hice mención dice que ante de sesenta años después que fueron conquistados, no ha de quedar hombre dellos.
\nY aunque esta profecía yo no la doy crédito; pero las cosas que suceden y aun sucedido parece que van enderezadas a hacerla verdadera. No es de creer, empero, que esta gente se acabe tan en breve tiempo como la profecía dice, porque si así fuese, la tierra quedaría yerua [sic] porque hay pocos españoles en ella, y aun ellos se vendrían a acabar, y la tierra se hinchería de bestias fieras y de árboles silvestres,

plague, the plague which now, presently, prevails, occurred, wherein a great number of people have died and many villages have become depopulated and things are growing worse. If it continues for three or four months, as it now progresses, no one will remain. And the prophecy which I mentioned previously says that less than sixty years after they were conquered, not a man of them will remain. And although I do not believe this prophecy, yet the things which happen and have happened seem to go in the right direction to make it true. However, it is unbelievable that this people will end in such a brief time, as the prophecy says, because if it were so, the earth would remain wasteland, because there are few Spaniards in it and even they would come to an end, and the land would become full of wild beasts and forests
