because Padre Fray Juan Ruiz always had the keys to the
sanctum and the tabernacle of the child Jesus and he could
have been careless and [someone may have] taken the keys from him and stolen the
said chain and cross of the child. And the declarant says and declares
that in the time that Padre Fray Juan de Tujo was prior, said father prior
never gave the key to the child except
to one of his colleagues for the display of [the child]. And this [was]
always [done] with [the child wearing] the surplice. And he never gave
the key to the black man as is now being done in the time of said
Father Montemayor when said black man Tomás always [opens]
the tabernacle. And the declarant confirms this knowledge under oath.
It is recorded that he affirms it and ratifies it and signs it. Added between the lines "the said prior Fray Juan Ruiz" valid = And crossed-out "Juana de Ce"
not valid etc.
