His collection of moral aphorisms, Centellas de varios conceptos (1614), stands out, due to its originality. Setantí was a precursor of Baltasar Gracián and of the other great cultivators of aphorisms during the Spanish Baroque. His 500 dense Centellas (sparks) are said to "reveal a modern political and personal attitude that marks an important milestone in Spanish sententious literature".
