Reading edition
Escamilla, Not. Cur., MS., 19-20; Jesuits, Colec. Gen., 24, and Pelaez, Mem. Guat., iii. 66-8, give a somewhat different version. According to these authorities the decree was given to the alcalde mayor, who notified the friars at two o'clock in the morning. The statements of Escamilla, who was present in Guatemala at this time, are to be preferred.
