The shepherd Pedro Pads said that if it were not to please a friend (who afterwards acted as a witness before the Inquisition) he would not have gone to visit the Pillar: if it were in his hand, he would have hit with his foot the Pillar that the fried had adored. The witness told him to be quiet, that Our Lady had come there, by virtue of the Holy Spirit and the Angels, but the prisoner replied that he who lived with abuses would die with abuses.
Pedro Padís, a shepherd of Gaulish origin, whom a friend with whom he visited the Pilar said “que sino fuera por complacer al testigo no ubiera ydo alla, que si en su mano estubiera diera con el pie al Pilar que havia adorado, y diciéndole el testigo que callase, que Nuestra Señora havia venido alli, por virtud del Espiritu Santo y de los Angeles, respondio el reo que callasse que quien con abusiones vivia con abusiones moria”.
