en la fábrica de la iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Casaysay de este pueblo, sien-
do este testigo entonces vilango de fiscal del padre fray Pedro Mexía, prior
que fue de este partido de Taal. Y tiene noticia del milagro que con el
dicho Juan Ynbin ha usado Nuestra Señora de Casaysay, y que siempre
le ha tenido y tiene al dicho sangley por hombre de buena vida y costumbres;
y esto responde.
-A la segunda pregunta, dijo que estando este testigo en la fuerza de Bonbon,
en la plaza de soldado que en ella tiene, llegó a deshoras de la noche don Juan de Cabrera, castellano de la dicha fuerza con cantidad de sangleyes,
cristianos e infieles, que dijo había preso por mandado del alcalde mayor
de esta provincia, en este pueblo de Casaysay y otras partes. Y acabado este testigo
su cuarto de posta bajó a ver los dichos sangleyes presos, y entre ellos vio
y conoció al dicho Juan Ynbin, que tenía atadas las manos y los demás
sangleyes que con él estaban; y esto responde.
-A la tercera pregunta, dijo que el día siguiente estando el dicho Juan Y
nbin y los demás sus compañeros presos en la dicha fuerza, y cada uno
con su trompa al pescuezo y amarradas las manos, vio este testigo que se
confesó el dicho Juan Ynbin con el padre prior de este partido de Taal,
y los demás sangleyes cristianos que estaban presos y de los infieles mu-
chos se bautizaron. Y luego el dicho alcalde mayor, que a la sazón estaba dentro
de la dicha fuerza, los mandó sacar de ella de dos en dos al lugar don-
de los mataron, que será al parecer de este testigo, un tiro de arcabuz de la
dicha fuerza; amarradas las dichas manos y con las trompas al pescuezo;
y esto responde.
-A la cuarta pregunta, dijo que no vio matar conocidamente al dicho Juan
Ynbin, ni qué muerte le dieron. Porque este testigo estaba ocupado
entonces en ir sacando de la dicha fuerza a los dichos sangleyes de dos
en dos, amarrados, y entregándolos a otros soldados que los iban
recibiendo y llevándolos al lugar donde los iban matando; y esto
responde.
-A la quinta pregunta, dijo que después de muertos los dichos sangleyes que por todos
fueron veintinueve, y este testigo los vio después tendidos en el suelo

in the construction of the church of Our Lady of Casaysay of this town,
being this witness then the accountant of Father Fray Pedro Mexía, who was the prior
of this district of Taal. And he heard the news of the miracle that
Juan Ynbin received from Our Lady of Casaysay. And he has always thought that
the said Sangley is a man who has a good life and customs; and this is what he responds.
-To the second question, he said that being this witness in the fort of Bonbon,
in the courtyard for the soldiers, Don Juan de Cabrera, Castilian of the said fort,
arrived at an odd time of the night, with a large number of Sangleys,
Christians and heathens, whom he had captured by the order of the principal mayor of this province, in this town of Casaysay and other parts. And having finished this witness
his shift guarding [the post], he came down to see the said captured Sangleys, and among them he saw
and recognized the said Juan Ynbin, who had his hands tied as well as the other
Sangleys who were with him; and this is what he responds.
-To the third question, he said that the next day, he saw the said Juan Ynbin and his other fellows captive in the said fort, and each one
with his neck brace on his neck and with their hands tied. He saw that the
said Juan Ynbin gave confession to the Prior Father of this district of Taal,
and the other Christian Sangleys who were captured and other heathens, many
of whom got baptized. And, then, the said principal mayor, who was at the
time inside the fort, ordered to take them out, two by two to the place
where they were killed. It seems to this witness, that it was at the distance of the shot of an arquebus from the said fort (with their hands tied and with the neck braces on their necks; and this is what he responds.
-To the fourth question, he said that he did not see the killing of the said Juan
Ynbin, or the death they gave him. Because this witness was busy at the time
escorting out the said Sangleys from the fort. [This was done] two by two,
with their hands tied, and giving them to the other soldiers who would
receive them and take them to the place where they would kill them; and this is what
he responds.
-To the fifth question, he said that after the death of the said Sangleys, who were in total
twenty nine, and whom this witness saw lying down on the ground
