In 1602 he published in Lisbon a second part of the main work, with a slightly different title: “Segunda parte de la vida de Christo Señor Nuestro que trata sus milagros dele”. The title page, composed in black and red, includes a medallion with the effigy of Christ; on the back of the last sheet, another copperplate medallion, representing the Virgin (Mater Dolorosa).
