Cassicques with so great demonstration of ioy that they cast much meale and maiz vppon the ground for the horses to tread vpon with such triumph they entered the towne where they were muche made of and very well lodged which the capteine did in part requite giuing to the chiefest among them hattes and beades of glasse with manie such trifles that they caryed with them for the like purpose The

informed would deuoure men were very fierce therefore y e it was necessary to make some fort of lime stone wherin to kéepe them to auoid such inconuenience as otherwise might fall to y e Indians by them which the Cassicques did so stedfastly beléeue y t with all spéede y e said fort which our men required was by them finished Moreouer vpō the capteines spéech y e he would depart they brought

was but by their demonstration it séemed to draw toward the north sea also y t vpon the edges thereof on either side there stood diuers great townes in respect of which the towne wherin they were was but a stréet From hence y e Capteine departed toward y e prouince of Zuni whither he had sent his company being come thither he met with his 5 cōpaniōs Frier Bernardine Beltran with the soldiers who as is aforesaid were before determined to returne but as yet vpon certeine occasions not departed whō y e people there had very wel intreated as they did the capteine afterward those that came with him méeting him w t tokens of great ioy to whom they gaue much victuals for his iourny homeward desiring him to returne with all conuenient spéed to bring with him more Castillis for so they tearm the
