The following questions refer to the excerpt below.
"[Spaniards'] reason for killing and destroying such an infinite number of souls is that the Christians have an ultimate aim,which is to acquire gold,and to swell themselves with riches in a very brief time and thus rise to a high estate disproportionate to their merits.
