Second, he has instructed me about the
holy Catholic faith so that I know for a certainty that the sect
of Mohammed is false and wicked, and all those who believe in it
are going to total destruction and condemnation. So I beg you
and command you, as good vassals and brothers, to join me and
receive baptism. Trust me: you will be receiving baptism for the
salvation of your souls. Those who want baptism should not
move; those who do not want baptism, empty the square and leave
room for the others."
After he had said this the king took off his outer garments in
everyone's presence, remaining in his shirt. Tirant led him to
the bowl, and pouring water from the pitcher over his head, he
baptized him, saying:
"King Escariano, I baptize you in the name of the Father, and the
Son, and the Holy Spirit."
Then Tirant baptized almost all the prisoners, for most of them
were close relatives of the king. Afterward two captains and all
their lineage were baptized: one of their people was called
Bencarag and the other Capcani.
