duty as a peremptory obligation; but if for some reason begins to neglect

the Culebrn, this creature will leave the place with which its former owner
inevitably remain in poverty; and in the worst cases even ended with the
fatal neglect pay with his own life or the lives of their families.

would be presented with this form before the greedy man, with the aim of
making aFaustian pact wealth with him; in which man would offer his soul
and / or the lives of others (usually enemies or workers of the person
