Joseh Lorenzo de seis años, poco mas, Indio Yuma de padres gentiles
En el año del Señor de mil ochocientos y once día trece de febrero por la noche, Yo, Fray Faustino Gonzalez, Ministro de supra dicha pueblo, bautizé privadamente in casa de Miguel Varela a un Indito de nación Yuma, hijo de padres gentiles que tendría como seis años, quien estaba gravamente enfermo; pero hablaba, y el mismo respondió que queria el bautismo. Fue madrina Bicenta Garcia, mujer de dicho Varela, y [el padrino fue] su hijo, Lorenzo Varela, y le puse por nombre Joseh Lorenzo y quedaron entendidos de las obligaciones que contrajeron, y de cumplirlas, y para que conste lo firmé en dicho día, mes, y año.

Joseh Lorenzo of six years, more or less, Yuma Indian of gentile parents
In the year of the Lord 1811 at night on the 13th day of February, I, Friar Faustino Gonzalez, Minister of the said village, privately baptized a little Indian of the Yuma nation at the home of Miguel Varela. He is the son of genitile parents, is probably six years old, and was gravely ill. But, I spoke to him and he responded that he desired baptism. I gave him the name Joseh Lorenzo. His godmother was Bicenta Garcia, wife of the said Varela, and [his godfather was] her son, Lorenzo Varela. They were given to understand the obligations they had contracted and must complete, and in certification of which I signed on the said day, month, and year.
