el sábado en la noche que fue hallado en las bóvedas
y agua santa de este dicho pueblo, que de las dichas bóvedas fue traído
[a] aquellas horas a una de las casas de este pueblo, y este testigo y las de-
más personas que en él había, al ruido que corría de milagro
ocurrieron a la dicha casa a ver el dicho sangley. Y asimismo fue
este testigo y le vio dos heridas grandes y penetrantes en el pes-
cuezo y cerebro; y la una mayor que la otra, donde se veían los
nervios cortados que tan solamente le quedaba el garguero, y sin hin-
chazón ni mal olor pero muy llenas de gusanos. Y las otras dos que
después se le hallaron en su cuerpo al dicho Juan Ynbin
no las vio pero han le contado a este testigo son de muerte. Y según las dos
que este testigo vio en el dicho pescuezo y cerebro no se persuade este testigo
que naturalmente pudiese venir a las dichas bóvedas y agua santa
de este dicho pueblo sin particular ayuda y favor de esta soberana
Señora de Casaysay; y esto responde.
-A la séptima pregunta, dijo que no la sabe; y esto responde.
-A la octava pregunta, dijo que se remite a lo que se contiene en la
sexta pregunta de este dicho; y esto responde.
-A la novena pregunta, dijo que ha visto que el dicho Juan Ynbin
anda por sus pies, sin ayuda de nadie ni bordón; y le parece a este testigo
que según esto y su buena disposición y aliento está fuera de riesgo de las
dichas heridas; y esto responde.
-A la décima pregunta, dijo que este testigo y los naturales de este pueblo de Casaysay
estaban de guardia en él, y debajo de esta casa que sirve de convento
por causa del alzamiento de los sangleyes; y un viernes en la noche
que este testigo se acuerda bien y antes que en las dichas bóvedas y agua
santa de este pueblo fuera hallado el dicho Juan Ynbin, estando este
testigo con don Agustín Sava, asimismo natural de este dicho pueblo y de guar-
dia con este testigo debajo de esta dicha casa, el dicho viernes en la no-
che que había luna clara, a su parecer sería el cuarto del alba
poco más o menos, estando ambos a dos platicando de diferentes
cosas y sentados en la lonja que está delante de esta dicha casa
Original Translated

Saturday evening, which is when he was found in the vault
and Holy water of the said town. From the said vault, he was brought
at that time to one of the houses in the town. And this witness and the
other people who were there, due to the rumor that was spread about the miracle,
went to the said house to see the said Sangley. And likewise was
this witness there. And he saw two big and deep wounds in the
neck and brain. And one was larger than the other, which showed the
the nerves cut off in a way that only the throat remained intact, without
swelling or a bad odor, but full of worms. The other two that
were seen later on the body of the said Juan Ynbin
were not seen by him, but this witness has heard that they were mortal. And according to the two [wounds]
that this witness saw on his neck and brain this witness does not believe that
he could come to the said vault and Holy water
of this town naturally, without the special assistance and favor of this sovereign
Lady of Casaysay. And this is what he responds.
-To the seventh question, he said that he does not know. And this is what he responds.
-To the eighth question, he said that he stands by what is contained in the
sixth question of his statement. And this is what he responds.
-To the ninth question, he said that he has seen the said Juan Ynbin
walk on his own, without the help of anyone or a staff. And it seems to this witness
that given this and his good disposition and energy, he is out of danger from the
said wounds. And this is what he responds.
-To the tenth question, this witness said that he and the natives of this town of Casaysay
were on guard, due to the uprising of the Sangleys. And they were doing so under the house that serves as the convent. And on one Friday at night,
which this witness remembers well and before the time when Juan Ynbin
was found in the said vault. And this witness was with
Don Agustín Sava, who was likewise a native of the said town and who was on guard
with this witness under the said house on the said Friday night,
in which there was a full moon. He thinks it would have been at a quarter before sunrise, more or less. They were both talking about different
things and they were seated in the area that was in front of the said house

y de donde se ven las dichas bóvedas, este testigo tenía la cara
que miraba hacia las dichas bóvedas y agua santa, y el dicho
don Agustín Sava vuelto el rostro a otra parte; y prosiguien-
do con su plática que ambos habían trabado vio este testigo aquella
que referida tiene, dos luces distintas la una de la otra
encima de las bóvedas de la dicha agua santa, que al parecer de este
testigo serían cada una como la que puede dar y alumbrar
una hacha de cera de cuatro pábilos, y mirando con atención
este testigo las dichas dos luces resplandecientes, que sería muy poco
momento, se apagaron luego. Y causándole algún género de
confusión y llamando este testigo al dicho don Agustín Sava a que
las mirase, y en la parte donde estaban y se habían vuelto
a apagar. El dicho D. Agustín Sava le dijo a este testigo que
debía de estar burlando, sin embargo de lo cual fijó la
vista en las dichas bóvedas y agua santa y vio encima
de ellas el dicho don Agustín Sava y este testigo, una luz tan sola-
mente pero con el mismo resplandor que había visto este testigo
las dos primeras luces. Y este testigo le dijo a dicho compañero: - “A-
guárdame aquí que quiero ver quién enciende tan grandes
luces encima de las dichas bóvedas.”- Y apresurando el paso este testigo
hacia las dichas bóvedas después de haber andado a su parecer diez
o doce pasos, se volvió a apagar la luz como dicho tiene este testigo
había visto con el dicho don Agustín Sava, sin embar-
go de lo cual prosiguió su viaje. Y llegó a las dichas bóvedas
y miró hacia arriba y todo alrededor de ellas por ver
si hallaba rastro o camino para ver y saber quién había
encendido y apagado las dichas luces, y no hallado nada de
lo que fue a buscar, se volvió al lugar donde había de-
jado a su compañero. Y le dio parte de cómo no había hallado na-
da de lo que había ido a buscar. Y así este testigo lo dejó, pero no le
pareció cosa nueva por cuanto ha oído decir muchas veces a

and where the said vault could be seen. This witness was
looking towards the said vault and holy water. And the said
Don Agustín Sava had turned his face to the other side. And
as they continued their conversation they were having, this witness saw that
which was mentioned; two distinct lights
on top of the vault of the said holy water, which it seemed to this
witness were bright enough to give and light up
a torch of wax of four wicks. And when this witness was
watching attentively the said two resplendent lights , which was only for a little
moment, they went out. And being under a bit of
confusion, [and ] this witness called the said Don Agustín Sava so that he would
look at them where they were and they went
out again. The said Don Agustín Sava said to this witness that he
must be mocking him, but he then looked
towards the said vault and holy water, and saw above
them the said Don Agustín Sava and this witness, only a single light,
but with the brightness that this witness had seen
with the first two lights. And this witness said to the said mate:
"Wait for me here because I want to see who ignites such big
lights on top of the [said] vault." And hastening his pace to the said vault,
this witness, after having walked what he thinks were ten
or twelve steps, [saw] the light went out again (as this witness has stated that
he saw with the said Don Agustín Sava ). He, nonetheless,
continued walking. And he arrived to the said vault
and he looked up and around him to see
if he saw the trail or the path that would let him see who had
turned on and off the said light. And not having found anything [of the sort] of
what he was looking for, he returned to the place where he had
left his partner. And he told him how he had not found
what he was looking for. And so this witness left him. But he
didn't think it was a new thing because he has heard many times

in different moments from some people that in that site
and place, before they had built the said vault, they saw other lights. And [he said] that it was there where
this Most Holy Lady of Casaysay had appeared to many people, who with faith
and devotion had come to this source and holy water to bathe in it
their illnesses and gain their health. Because the devotion that is
held in this site and water has been so great, that it is continuously used
for the said illnesses and other needs. And this is what he responds.
-To the eleventh question, he said that everything that he has said is public and well-known, of common knowledge and reputation, and the truth under the oath that
he has given, and within the rules of the law. He could not say his age. He
looks like he was fifty years old, more or less. And he did not sign it, because
he said he didn't know how. It was signed by the said judge and interpreter.

llamarse don Agustín Sava, y ser natural de este dicho pueblo de Casaysay,
del cual se fue recibido juramento en forma de derecho
por Dios Nuestro Señor y la señal de la cruz. Y habiéndole hecho, prometió de
decir verdad, y siéndole preguntado al tenor del interrogatorio
dijo lo siguiente:
-A la primera pregunta, dijo que conoce a Juan Ynbin, sangley cristiano,
de más de dos años a esta parte trabajar en la iglesia de Nuestra
Señora de Casaysay de este dicho pueblo; y tiene noticia del milagro que con él
ha usado esta soberana Señora, y que siempre ha visto este testigo al dicho
Juan Ynbin acudir a las obligaciones de cristiano, porque es humilde
y bien quieto; y esto responde.
-A la segunda pregunta, dijo que a este pueblo de Casaysay llegó don Juan
de Cabrera, castellano de la fuerza de Bonbon, con indios solda-
dos de ella, por orden del alcalde mayor de ella para prender todos
los sangleyes cristianos e infieles de este dicho pueblo para llevarlos
a la dicha fuerza y matarlos en ella, por causa del alzamiento general
de los sangleyes. Y así lo hizo el dicho don Juan de Cabrera, y entre
ellos vio este testigo fue uno de los presos y llevado al dicho Juan Yn-
bin amarradas las manos; y esto responde.
-A la tercera pregunta, dijo que no la sabe; y esto responde.
-A la cuarta pregunta, dijo que no la sabe; y esto responde.
-A la quinta pregunta, dijo que no la sabe; y esto responde.
-A la sexta pregunta, dijo que este testigo no sabe en qué parte de la mar
echaron al dicho Juan Ynbin, pero que desde la fuerza de
Bonbon hasta las bóvedas y agua santa de este pueblo de Casaysay, don-
de fue hallado el dicho Juan Ynbin por tierra le parece a este
testigo tardará una persona una hora andando al paso ordi-
nario, y si va por el agua algo menos. Y en cuanto a las heridas dijo este
testigo que el sábado en la noche que fue hallado en las dichas
bóvedas y agua santa de este pueblo por don Juan Magtangcab
y sus criados, se divulgó luego la hallada del dicho sangley en dicho
puesto; y así este testigo estaba de guardia con otros indios de este pueblo

his name was Don Agustín Sava and that he was a native of the said town of Casaysay.
He gave the proper oath
in the name of God Our Lord and the sign of the cross. And having done this, he promised
to say the truth. And having been asked the contents of this interrogatory,
he said the following:
-To the first question, he said that he has known Juan Ynbin, Christian Sangley,
for more than two years, in these parts. [He saw him] work at the church of Our
Lady of Casaysay of the said town. And he has heard of the miracle that
Our Sovereign Lady performed for him. And he has always seen the said
Juan Ynbin, fulfill his obligations as a Christian, because he is humble
and very quite. And this is what he responds.
-To the second question, he said that Don Juan de Cabrera, Castilian of the fort of Bonbon,
came to this town of Casaysay, with Indio
soldiers, by the order of its main mayor, in order to capture all
the Sangleys, Christians and heathens, of the said town to take them
to the said fort and kill them there due to the general uprising
of the Sangleys. And this is what the said Don Juan de Cabrera did. And among
them, this witness saw that one of the captives who was taken was the said Juan
Ynbin, with their tied hands. And this is what he responds.
-To the third question, he said that he does not know. And this is what he responds.
-To the fourth question, he said that he does not know. And this is what he responds.
-To the fifth question, he said that he does not know. And this is what he responds.
-To the sixth question, this witness said that he does not know in what part of of the sea
they threw the said Juan Ynbin out, but that from the fort of
Bonbon to the vault and holy water of this town of Casaysay,
where the said Juan Ynbin was found, he think that by land
it takes a person one hour walking at an normal rate,
and if one goes by water, a little bit less. And in terms of the wounds, this witness
said that on the Saturday night when he was found in the said
vault and holy water of this town by Don Juan Magtangcab
and his servants, the finding of the said Sangley in the said place
was publicized. And this witness was then on guard with some other Indios of this town
