    I implore you to recognize the Church as a lady and in the name of the Pope take
    the King as lord of this land and obey his mandates. If you do not do it, I tell you that
    with the help of God I will enter powerfully against you all. I will make war everywhere
    and every way that I can. I will subject you to the yoke and obedience to the Church
    and to his majesty. I will take your women and children and make them slaves The
    deaths and injuries that you will receive from here on will be your own fault and not
    that of his majesty nor of the gentlemen that accompany me. - The Requirement,
    read to the native peoples in Spanish.
