All this has been since then confirmed on those occasions, and they have been many, on which he has crossed our path, at one time to beg the shepherds to give him some of the food they carry, at another to take it from them by force; for when there is a fit of madness upon him, even though the shepherds offer it freely, he will not accept it but snatches it from them by dint of blows; but when he is in his senses he begs it for the love of God, courteously and civilly, and receives it with many thanks and not a few tears.
Todo lo cual se ha confirmado después acá con las veces, que han sido muchas, que él ha salido al camino, unas a pedir a los pastores le den de lo que llevan para comer y otras a quitárselo por fuerza; porque cuando está con el accidente de la locura, aunque los pastores se lo ofrezcan de buen grado, no lo admite, sino que lo toma a puñadas; y cuando está en su seso, lo pide por amor de Dios, cortés y comedidamente, y rinde por ello muchas gracias, y no con falta de lágrimas.
