[474] In the auto of 1601 the priest Juan Plata appeared as a penitent and was suspended from orders for connivance in pretended revelations of a nun of the Puebla convent of St. Catherine of Siena. He was also a solicitante, having seduced her in the confessional, but this was studiously omitted from the sentence read.—Medina, op. cit., p. 125.
