Inmediato a la villa, y oculto en el fondo de un espeso bosque, vivía a esta sazón, en una pequeña ermita dedicada a San Bartolomé, un santo hombre de costumbres piadosas y ejemplares, a quien el pueblo tuvo siempre en olor de santidad, merced a sus saludables consejos y acertadas predicciones.

Immediate to the town, and I conceal at the bottom of a thick forest, it was living to this ripeness, in a small chapel devoted to San Bartolomé, a holy man of pious and model customs, whom the people always had in smell of holiness, through favor to his healthy advices and guessed right prophecies.
