“What advantage did the Jews look to gain?”
He states that Tazarte had assured them that as a consequence of the enchantment all Christians in the land must either perish or become Jews, so that the Law of Moses should triumph and prevail.
“To whom were the heart and the Host to be delivered for the said enchantment?”
“To Mosé Abenamias at Zamora.”
“Was Abenamias himself to perform the enchantment?”
“No; he was to give orders for its performance to a wizard of Zamora.”
“Does he, or do any of the others, know the said wizard, and what is his name?”
He cannot answer the question, beyond telling them that he had heard Tazarte say that he knew Abenamias and the wizard, and that he had been to school with the latter.
“How many times did they assemble to decide upon the crucifixion?”
He knows that all (with the exception of himself) assembled in the same cave to perform an enchantment with a Host on an occasion previous to that of the boy’s crucifixion. He knows this because he was invited to the gathering; he did not wish to go, and so stayed away, but he was told afterwards by the others what had been done.
