“Meigas, feitizos e bruxas que persigue a Inquisicion, sin mascara, socaliñas de cregos e frades son. Chamanlles bruxas à ás vellas por ter cara de carton; pero solamente hay meygas en donde hay Inquisicion. As femias da nosa especie de certa constitucion fan visaxes, e son tolas, pero feitizeiras non.”

Witches, spells and hexes, who are prosecuted by the Inquisition, maskless, hoaxes of priests and friars are. They call hex an old lady because her face is made of cardboard; but there are witches just where it is Inquisition. Females of our species, of certain constitution, make gestures, and are mad, but sorceresses they are not.
