I await the honour of your reply,

DOMINICO ZAPATA,

y verdadero, y honrado,

y caricativo.

Zapata, receiving no answer, took to preaching God in all

simplicity. He announced to men the common father, the rewarder,

punisher, and pardoner. He extricated the truth from the lies, and

separated religion from fanaticism; he taught and practised virtue.

He was gentle, kindly, and modest; and he was burned at Valladolid

in the year of grace 1631. Pray God for the soul of Brother Zapata.
