Leap when ordered

— Isto quer dizer, misser italiano, que se um dia o Sr. D. Antônio vos mandar saltar deste rochedo embaixo, fazei a vossa oração e saltai; porque de uma ou outra maneira, pelos pés ou pela cabeça, fé de Aires Gomes, lá ireis.

The setting

This means, master Italian, that if one day Sr. D. Antônio orders you to leap off this rock, say your prayer and leap; because one way or another, by the feet or by the head, on the faith of Aires Gomes, down you will go.
