He was later appointed superior of the convent of Zacavila, but soon retired to the main convent in Antequera due to poor health. He devoted the rest of his life to writing in the Mixe language which are the earliest publications in that language. In spite of age and infirmity, he made several journeys to Puebla to supervise publishing of his writing.
His most noted works were a grammar and a series of essays on the principal articles of the Christian faith, under the title "Institución cristiana, que contiene el Arte de la Lengua Mije et cetera" (Puebla, 1729).
