“pro nunca poido facer que o Seor Pedro fose crego, que en medio de ser meniño xa pensaba con gran seso. Tiráro-no dos estudios, xa que tan fortes consellos non bastaron pra o domear a que fose frade ou crego”
but he never could make Mr. Pedro a churchman, because even a boy yet, he used to think with good judgement. They removed him from his studies, since so large advices weren't enough for compelling him to be a friar or a priest
