Father Juan de Bueras, [22] rector of the residence of the Society
of Jesus, for the archbishop. They agreed that the prisoner should
be returned to the episcopal prison, and that each side should desist
from their claim in what was accomplished.

When the time came to execute the agreement of the arbitrators, the
auditors put difficulties in the way. But, since at the same time
it happened that the provisor, as commissary of the holy crusade,
had drawn up acts against the auditors for the violation of his
house and tribunal, against which there was no recourse by force in
these islands; and since, on the other hand, the governor demanded
from them the record of all that had been done (separating himself
from them, as not being a lawyer) in order to inform the king:
they resolved to form an assembly without the governor, and voted
that the prisoner should be returned to the ecclesiastical prison,
while the ecclesiastical judge was investigating whether the church
was protecting him, which was what the archbishop claimed.

The victorious provisor left the residence of the Society, and with
great pomp, and, accompanied by a mass of people and by his ministers,
drew the prisoner from the public prison and took him to his own. The
interdict was raised, to the chime of the bells of all the churches.

The auditors begged to be absolved in their houses, but the archbishop
refused, saying that since the scandal had been public, the absolution
also must be so. However, absolution was given in his house to one
who was sick and who was less culpable; as well as to another by the
influence of the Dominicans, who obtained that it be given him by
the parish priest.
