"After the sermon, I asked all, both older and younger, whether they sincerely believed each article of the faith, to which they replied that they did believe [...] So I then baptized them, giving to each one a written note of his name. After the men, it was the turn of the women and girls. When the baptisms were over, the Christians took much pleasure in tearing down the idol-temples, and breaking the idols into small pieces."
