Translation of Spanish:Some ferocious ones like the lion, bears, elephants, rhinoceroses. And others tame and small like cats, dogs, and deer, to eat and to dress in its skin, and sheep, to dress from their wool, and for us to make use of. And for each he created its food, and males and females, so that they could procreate. And he also commanded that silk worms be created to adorn the altars, and the guano trees, for the good of all.
Original Spanish: Vnos ferozes como el Leon, Ossos, elefantes, Renocerontes. Y otros mansos, y pequeños como gatos, perros, y benados, para comer, y para vestirse de sus pellexos, y carneros, y de su lana para vestir, y para seruirnos dellos. Y à todos les criò su comida, y machos y hembras, para que fuessen procreando. Tambien le mandò criase gusanos de la seda, para adorno de los altares, y à los arboles guano, para el bie<n> de todos.
Literal Timucua: At [that?] time, he said that each animal would come out of the earth, and without delay he caused...uncountable [and un...] groups of animals to be born and come out; furthermore, he made ferocious animals [such as] the panther, the bear, the elephant, the rhinocerous, the camel, the horse, the donkey, and the deer; furthermore, he made small animals like the dog, the cat, the [red?] fox, the aloco, the ferret, the [gray?] fox, the ferret, the rabbit, the abila, the iyolaribe snake and other snakes.... furthermore, we kill the meat [for example?] of deer and eat the body and make leather from the skin, and put on clothes; furthermore, lamb is eaten and its hair is called wool, [from] spinning and weaving and sewing(?), one makes clothes; furthermore one spins devil's purse (cotton?) and makes clothes. God's bed is prepared and will be tilled. One goes up for guano and makes a guano belt, and prepares it for wear, and gives it to people.
Comment: It is a bit surprising that deer are described as ferocious, but perhaps the Timucua perspective on them is different. Notice that deer are described as tame and small in Spanish, but not in Timucua.

Translation of Spanish: ... and created other plants, some to eat, others to cure us by being mashed and applied, others cooked to drink their broth, others for bathing the sicknesses, and to these plants God gave this strenth. And so only with them should we cure, leaving the Devil's prayers, so that you should not think that the sick get better except with medicinal plants, because God is the Lord of life and death, and so when he is served, the sick live, and when he wishes they die, and he is the best doctor of all then, with his word or will heals.
Original Spanish: Yten criò otras yerbas, vnas para comer, otras para curarnos vnas majadas para empla∫tos, otras cocidas para beuer ∫u caldo otras para baños de las enfermedades, y à e∫tas yeruas les diò Dios e∫ta virtud, y aßi ∫olo con ellas nos emos de curar, dexado el rezo del Demonio, por que no aueis de pen∫ar que con el ∫ana el enfermo ∫ino con las me dicinales yerbas, por que Dios es el Señor de le vida, y de la muerte, y aßi quando el es ∫eruido, el enfermo viue, y quando el quiere muere, y el es el mayor medico de todos pues con ∫u palabra, ò volutad ∫ana. etc.
Literal Timucua: And furthermore, he gives us plants to be food for us to be cured and to take and live and then he gives [plants] to rub on, and to drink, and to bathe in to heal the sick so they live. This you must know -- these plants and herbs will cure by the Lord's power; God gives them this strength, so plants will cure; the repetition of the devil's prayers has no power; you must not think that people get better due to the devil's prayers. If God wants, the sick get better; if he wants, they die; life and death are his. And if a person believes in him and calls...speaking and requesting, he must ask "God my master, have mercy on me; may I be given this life and eternal life."
