To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Marques de los Velez could not understand it ; he did not like the look of things, and applied for the governorship of Peru ; Perez offered to retire from the public service and satisfy his enemies thus ; but the King refused to accept Perez's resigna- tion ; he said that he could not spare him ; he reiterated, on the word of a gentleman, "that he would never for- sake him, and that Perez knew his word could be de- pended on.'' More and more loudly Matteo Vasquez and the Esco- Yedos demande...d a trial. The King could not directly refuse. Perez himself advised acquiescence ; the actual assassins, he said, were beyond reach of discovery ; there was no evidence ; he was ready to face the prosecution ; the name of the Princess need not be mentioned. Philip, however, had a conscience above perjury ; he was not ashamed to admit what he had done, if it was known only to discreet persons who could be safely trusted. The case was to be heard before the High Court of Castile. The King sent for Don Antonio de Puzos, who was then President, told him everything, and asked his advice.
