At this moment an official crossed over, and approaching Sancho threw over him a robe of black buckram painted all over with flames of fire, and taking off his cap put upon his head a mitre such as those undergoing the sentence of the Holy Office wear; and whispered in his ear that he must not open his lips, or they would put a gag upon him, or take his life.
Salió, en esto, de través un ministro, y, llegándose a Sancho, le echó una ropa de bocací negro encima, toda pintada con llamas de fuego, y, quitándole la caperuza, le puso en la cabeza una coroza, al modo de las que sacan los penitenciados por el Santo Oficio; y díjole al oído que no descosiese los labios, porque le echarían una mordaza, o le quitarían la vida.
