going of which he was more than four hours and came not as we shall see hereafter with an intention to fight but to understand the substance of the Embassy which was brought to him from the Pope and the Emperour Atahualpa was informed That the Spaniards were not able to walk up any ascent or steep Hill and that their Footmen either got up behind the Horses or held fast by the Pectorals of the Saddles and so were drawn as it were whensoever they attempted to mount any steep Ascents and that they were not able to run like the Indians or endure any labour or fatigue like them with this opinion and with a fancy that the Spaniards were of Divine Race Atahualpa marched without any jealousie or suspicion of that which afterwards succeeded When the King saw the Spanish Infantry in so small a number and that as if they had been fearfull they had taken advantage of a Rock to defend themselves he said to his People These are the Messengers of God to whom we must be carefull to give no Offence but rather receive and treat them with all Courtesie and Respect Which being said a certain Dominican Friar called Vicente de Valverde taking a Crucifix in his hand approached the Inca to speak to him in the Name of the Emperour CHAP. XXII Wherein is repeated the Speech which the Friar Vicente de Valverde made to the Inca Atahualpa BLas Valera who was a faithfull and curious Collectour of all Passages and Transactions of those times repeats unto us the whole Speech at large which Friar Vicente made to Atahualpa the Speech consisted of two parts and as Valera saith that when he was at Truxillo he saw it translated into Latin and writ with the proper Hand-writing of Friar Vicente which afterwards Diego de Olivares who was one of the Conquerours had gotten and he being dead it came to the hands of a Kinsman of mine so that having had opportunity often to read it I got it by heart and by my memory am able to insert it here in the same from as Blas Valera writes it who hath set it down more at large and more distinctly than any other Historian Wherefore to proceed when Friar Vicente came near to speak to the Inca Atahualpa did much admire to see such a Figure of a Man so different in Habit from all the others his Beard and Crown being shaven after the Fashion of Friars it seemed strange to him also to see him acost him with a Cross of Palms and a Book in his hand which some say was a Breviary others a Bible others a Missal The King that he might be informed of the manner how he was to treat this Friar asked one of those three Indians to whom he had committed the charge to provide the Spaniards with all things necessary of what quality this Friar was whether he was greater or inferiour or equal with the other Spaniards to which the poor simple Indian knew to make no other reply than that he seemed to be a Captain or Guider of the Word he might mean perhaps a Preacher or Minister of the supreme God or Messenger of the Pachacamac and that he was of different quality to the others Then Friar Vicente having made a low Obeisance and Reverence according to the manner of Religious Men with permission of the King he made him this following Speech The First Part of the Speech of Friar Vicente de Valverde IT is necessary for you to know most famous and powerfull King and also for all your Subjects who are desirous to learn the Catholick Faith that you and they both hear and believe the things which follow First that God who is three and yet one created Heaven and Earth and all the things which are in this World. That he gives the Reward of Eternal Life to those that doe well and punishes the evill with everlasting Torments That this God at the beginning of the World made Man of the Dust of the Earth and breathed into him the Spirit of Life which we call the Soul which God made after his own Image and likeness by which it appears that the whole Man consists of Body and a rational Soul. From the first Man whom God called Adam all Mankind which is in this World is descended and from him we take the original and beginning of our Nature That this Adam sinned by breaking the Commandment of his Creatour and in him all Men that have been born since his time are under sin and so shall be to the end of the World for neitheir Man nor Woman is free from this original Sin nor can be excepting onely our Lord Jesus Christ who being the Son of the onely true God descended from Heaven and was born from the Virgin Mary that so he might redeem and free all Mankind from the Subjection of Sin and finally he dyed for our Salvation upon the Cross which was a piece of Wood in form of this which I hold in my Hands for which reason we that are Christians do adore and reverence it This Jesus by his own power arose from the dead and forty Days after he ascended into Heaven where he now sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty After which he left his Apostles upon the Earth who were his Successours who by their Words and Admonitions and other holy means might bring men to the Knowledge and Worship of God and Observation of his Laws Of these Apostles St. Peter was constituted Chief as are also his Successours of all other succeeding Apostles and of all Christians and as St. Peter was God's Vicar or Vicegerent so after him were all the Popes of Rome who are endued with that supreme Authority which God hath given them and which they have and do and shall for ever exercise with much sanctity and care for propagation of the Gospell and guiding Men according to the Word of God. The Second Part of the Speech of Friar Vicente de Valverde FOR which reason the Pope of Rome who is the High Priest now living having understood that all the People and Nations of these Kingdoms leaving the Worship of the true Maker of all things do brutishly worship Idols and the Images of Devils and being willing to draw them to the knowledge of the true God hath granted the Conquest of these Puris to Charles the 5th Emperour of the Romans who is the most powerfull King of Spain and Monarch of all the Earth that so he having brought the Kings and Lords and People of these parts under his Subjection and Dominion and having destroyed the rebellious and disobedient he may govern and rule these Nations and reduce them to the knowledge of God and to the obedience of the Church And though our most potent King be employed in the Government of his vast Kingdoms and Dominions yet he received this Grant of the Pope and refused not the trouble for the good and for the salvation of these Nations and

Pachacutec his legitimate Son and Heir succeeded in the Empire and having solemnly performed the funeral Rites of his Father he resided for three Years at his Court attending to the due administration of his Government Afterwards he took a progress into all parts of his Dominions passing orderly from one Province to another and though the presence of the Inca might seem of no moment in regard the Lords and Governours were so diligent and faithfull to their trust that the Inca in all the way he travelled received no complaints from the people of Aggrievances and Oppressions laid illegally on them by their Rulers for the frequent appearance of the Inca at certain times did so overawe the Ministers that they were fearfull to act any thing which was not permitted to them by Law or Equity Moreover the appearance of the Inca personally before his Subjects gave them the opportunity to prefer their Petitions and offer their Complaints by way of immediate Address which was much more beneficial to the Subjects than to have their Aggrievances made known by a third hand which by favour or friendship might disguise the laments and make Injustices appear less than they were to the prejudice of the Plaintiffs and herein such care was taken that never any people who lived by the mere Light of Nature and Law of Reason did ever surpass the equitable proceedings of the Incas which indifferency and unbiassed judgment gained them that love of their people that even to this day and to many future Ages will their Memory be sweet and pretious At the end of three Years this Inca returned again to his City and lest he should seem to spend all his time in Peace and Repose he judged it convenient to attend at length unto military Exercises and gain the Reputation of a Souldier by War as well as of a civil and just Governour in the time of Peace to this end he raised an Army of thirty thousand Men with which together with his Brother Capac Yupanqui a valiant Man and worthy of that name he marched through all the Division of Chinchasuyu untill he came to Villca which was the utmost extent on that side of their Conquests There he remained himself whilst he sent his Brother with an Army well furnished with all provisions of War into the Province called Sausa which the Spaniards corruptly call Xauxa which is a most pleasant Countrey containing about thirty thousand inhabitants all of the same Lineage and Name of Huanca They boasted themselves to be descended from one Man and one Woman which they say had their Original from a Fountain they were a sort of fierce and warlike people fleaing those whom they took in the Wars the Skins of which they filled with Ashes and hanged them up in their Temples for Trophies of their Victories with the Skins of some they made Drums being of opinion that the sound of them would terrifie and affright their Enemies These though they were a small people yet had well strengthened and fortified themselves for being all of one Nation they united their Interests to encroach on the Lands and Territories of their Neighbours and to make that good which they had acquired they fortified themselves in such places of Defence as were accustomary in those Countries In the times of their ancient Gentilism before they were reduced under the power of the Inca they worshipped the Image of a Dog in their Temples eating the Flesh of Dogs for the greatest rarity and delicacy in the World so that it is believed their Appetite to Dogs-flesh was the original of their Devotion which was so great to that Beast that the most solemn Feasts and Entertainments were served with many Dishes of Dogs-flesh and to demonstrate their great respect to Dogs they made a sort of Trumpet with their Heads which they sounded for their most pleasant Musick at times of their most solemn Festivals and Dancings and in their Wars they used the same to terrifie and affright their Enemies for said they our God causes these two different Effects by the same Instruments in us it raises Joy and Delight and in our Enemies Horrour and Consternation But all these Superstitions and Errours were quitted and rooted out by the better Instruction and Rudiments of the Inca howsoever to indulge their humour so far as was warrantable they permitted them in place of Dogs-heads to make their Trumpets with the Heads of Deer or Stags or any other Wild-beast as they pleased which afterwards they used at their Festivals and Balls and times of rejoicing and because the Flesh of Dogs was so extremely pleasing and savoury to them they gained the Sirname of Dog that whensoever Huanca was named they added Sir-reverence the Dog. They had likewise another Idol in figure and shape of a Man which was an Oracle through which the Devil spake and returned Answers to all Demands which uttering nothing that was in contradiction or disparagement to the Religion which the Incas professed was still conserved and left undemolished though the Idol of the Dog was broken down and confounded This considerable Nation and the most kindly affectionate to Dogs the Inca Capac Yupanqui subdued by fair terms and presents rather than by force for this was always the Masterpiece of the Incas who made it their Profession to take the Bodies of Men by captivating first and alluring their Souls and Minds All things passing in this manner smoothly with the Huancas and every thing being settled in peace and quietness the Inca divided their Nation into three Divisions the better to divide and supersede the old Feuds and Disputes amongst them arising about the Boundaries and Limits of their Land The first Division they called Sausa the second Marca villca and the third Llacsapallanca The attire of their Heads was ordered not to be altered in the form and manner of it but differenced onely for distinction sake by variety of colours This Province which anciently was called Huanca was by the Spaniards I know not for what reason named Huanca villca without considering that there is another Province called Huanca villca not far from Tumpiz and three hundred Leagues distant one from the other This latter is situate on the Sea-coast and the former far within the Land the which we here intimate to the Reader that so he may know in the perusal of this History to distinguish one from the other that when we shall come to relate many strange occurrences in the Countrey of Huancavillca he may not be confounded by mistaking it for Huanca CHAP. XI Of other Provinces which the Inca subdued of their Manners and Customs and the severity they used against those who were guilty of Sodomy BY the same good policy the Inca Capac Yupanqui allured and invited several other Provinces to submission and Obedience which extend themselves on both hands of the common road amongst which the Provinces of principal note and consideration were Tarma and Pumpu which the

found guilty and condemned to dye during the time of which Trial the Indians having erected a Gallows for him he was brought forth to punishment and the Indians having in their own Language proclaimed his Crime were the Executioners also to hang him up which was a piece of Justice applauded by all who saw and heard of it But to return again to our History The Indians did not execute the design they had agreed which was to kill all the Spaniards after the Battel which they imagined might have been done after they were weakned by the common slaughter For God who intended by their means to propagate the Holy Gospel in those parts prevented that intention by dissention amongst the Indians themselves for that the Indians who were the Menial and Domestick Servants of the Spaniards being affected with a natural Loyalty to their Masters would not consent to the Massacre of them but rather judged themselves obliged to desend and fight for them for the remembrance of what was encharged them by Huayna Capac and Manco Inca occurred still to their mind by which they believed that an obligation lay on them to serve and obey the Spaniards Thus did the division between the Indian Servants and the others prevent the execution of their design from which also little success could have been expected considering that they had no Head or General to conduct them And if they had had one yet as Histories say the Indians who were on the side of the Conquerours would not well have accorded with those who were vanquished This Battel happened on the 6th of April 1538 which being on a Saturday which was the day after the Feast of Lazarus the Spaniards conceived a particular devotion for that Saint and in remembrance thereof built and dedicated a Church to him in those Plains where this Battel was fought and which was standing when I departed from thence Within this Church the Bodies of all those who were slain both of one side and the other were interred And though some alledge that the Battel happened on the 26th of April I cannot but believe that it was an Errour of the Printer who instead of 6 put down 26. Blas Valera describing the Grandure of the City of Cozco touches some particulars relating to this Battel and says That in those Plains there is a Church dedicated to St. Lazarus where for a long time lay interred the Bodies of those who were slain in that Fight Afterwards a Spaniard who was one of the Conquerours a Person both Noble and Religious was accustomed to resort frequently thither to pray for the Souls of those who were interred in that place And having continued this devotion for a long time at length he happened to hear sighs and deep groans from the Vaults of the Church and therewith appeared before him the Person of one of his friends which had been there slain but he said nothing more to him than onely to intreat him that he would continue his visits to that Church frequently at certain Hours both by Day and Night At first the Spaniard was possessed with great fear at the sight of this Apparition but at length being accustomed thereunto and encouraged by Admonitions and Directions from Father Andrew Lopez who was a Jesuit and his Confessour he continued his Devotions of Prayer not onely for his friend but for all those who were there buried without any concernment or distraction of mind exhorting likewise others to join with him both in their Prayers and Alms. And afterwards by the advice and example of this Person the Mestizos who were the Sons of Spaniards begotten on the Bodies of Indian Women did in the year 1581 transport the Bones of their Fathers from that place to the City of Cozco where they buried them in an Hospital and caused many Masses Alms and other pious Works to be celebrated and performed for them to which all the City concurring with a general Alacrity from that time forward the Vision ceased to appear Thus far are the Words of Blas Valera And now to complete the sum of all these Cruelties after this unhappy Battel there remains nothing more to be related than onely the Tragedy of Don Diego de Almagro himself the consequence of which was the total destruction of both the Governours with their Confidents and Abettours in which calamity the common Welfare of Peru was involved In which Relation both the Historians unanimously agree that is to say Carate in the 12th Chapter of his third Book and Gomara in Chapter 142 have these Words which are extracted verbatim in such manner as we have recited them in the following Chapter CHAP. XXXIX Of the Tragical Death of Don Diego de Almagro THis Victory being obtained and Almagro taken one side was enriched and the other impoverished which is the natural consequence of a Civil War waged between Citizens and Relations in Bloud and Consanguinity Fernando Piçarro immediately took possession of Cozco though not without much discontent and murmurings of the people for though he shared the spoils amongst them yet there not being sufficient to satisfie the expectations of every person Mutinies were feared to prevent which the Souldiers were employed on new Conquests and to make things more safe the friends of Almagro were joyned to the others without distinction And to take away farther cause or occasion of Faction and Mutiny Don Diego de Almagro Junior was sent a Prisoner to the City of los Reyes as to Almagro himself Process was made against him and a report was published that he together with his Son was to be sent Prisoner to los Reyes and thence into Spain But whereas it was commonly talked that Mesa and others intended to rescue him on the way which was a mere pretence to cloak the severity of their proceedings they sentenced him to Death The crimes laid to his charge were that he had entred Cozco by force of Arms that he had caused the effusion of much Spanish Bloud that he had entred into a secret Treaty with Mango Ynga against the Spaniards that he had given and prescribed Limits for Government and Jurisdiction without licence from the Emperour that he had broken all his Articles and Oaths that contrary to the Peace of their Sovereign Lord the King he had fought two Battels one at Abancay and the other at Salinas besides divers other Misdemeanours committed by him of lesser moment Almagro grievously resented the severity of this sentence and made such sad lamentations thereupon as were sufficient to draw Tears from the most obdurate heart And though he made his Appeal to the Emperour yet Fernando notwithstanding the importunities of many persons who earnestly urged him thereunto refused to admit of his Appeal All which not prevailing Almagro himself implored his mercy beseeching him to spare his life in consideration that when he himself was in his power he had not put him to death nor spilt the bloud of his Friends or Relations That he would

not justifyable and therefore according to the rules of Justice they could not doe less than to set him at Liberty Hereunto the Vice-king replyed that he was committed by his order and that he intended to have hanged him as well for that Motto or Sentence which was wrote on the wall of his Inn as also for several other scandalous reports he had vented against his person And though he had no witness to produce in this matter yet by the authority and privilege of a Vice-king he had power not onely to imprison him but also to put him to death if he so pleased without rendering an account to any person whatsoever to which the Judges replyed that there was no Government but what was agreeable to Justice and founded on the Laws of the Kingdom and on these terms they parted so that the Judges on the Saturday following freed Antonio Solar from the prison and confined him onely to his own house and speedily afterwards they set him at liberty This manner of proceeding angred the Vice-king to the very soul and provoked him to contrive some way of revenge which he supposed he had effected in this manner which was this It seems that these Judges with their Servants were lodged and dieted in the house of one of the richest Citizens in the whole town and had been there lodged and boarded by order of the Vice-king for a short time untill they could otherwise provide for themselves And now the Vice-king thinking to doe them a discourtesie recalled the aforesaid Order forbidding the Citizens to entertain them longer upon pretence that it was not suitable to the King's honour nor to their own quality to lodge upon free-quarter or to keep company with Citizens and Merchants To which the Judges gave for answer That as to their lodging they could find no other convenient place untill such time as they could hire a house by lease for some term of years that for the future they would pay for their diet And for matter of their conversation with Merchants it was not unlawfull or prohibited but on the contrary it was practised in Castile by all those who were of the King's Council as being beneficial to them to understand by information from trading men all the transactions and businesses of the World. In this manner both parties remained at variance each with other which was apparent at all times whensoever occasion offered In pursuance whereof one day Dr. Alvarez made Affidavit before a Master of Chancery that he had paid a certain sum in Gold to Diego Alvarez who was brother-in-law to the Vice-king to have him nominated and preferred to an Office by the Vice-king the which deposition he highly resented Thus far are the words of Carate and the same is again confirmed by Diego Fernandez almost to the same purpose For in this manner saith he the Vice-king and the Judges seemed like two different factions and parties to increase which so soon as Antonio Solar was set at liberty he went privately about raising mutinies and discontents in the minds of the people against the Vice-king to increase and inflame which they reported abroad many bad things which the Vice-king had said and done And though all was so far from being true that nothing of that nature did so much as enter into the thoughts or imagination of the Vice-king yet by reason that Blasco Nunnez was hated and detested by the people all the evil that was said of him found easie admittance and he appeared as black as common same could make him for such indignation the people conceived against him that the name of Vice-king became as odious though the first that ever governed Peru as the name of King was to the Romans after they had expelled Tarquinius Superbus and his Family Thus far are the words of Diego Fernandez Palentino Also Dr. Gonçalo de Yllescas in his Pontifical History of the Popes having occasion to treat of the affairs of Peru gives this Character of the froward and uneasie disposition of Blasco Nunnez Vela After these things says he Vaca de Castro for the space of a year and a half quietly and peaceably governed all matters untill such time as he was superseded by Blasco Nunnez Vela a Gentleman of good quality of Avola who was sent thither with Character of Vice-king bringing with him many severe Rules and Laws which he put in execution over and above which he put in practice others for which he had no Commission the which this Doctor Yllescas declares in a few words and says more than all our Historians durst to say or write upon this particular subject Whilst these disturbances happened in the City Los Reyes the like mutinies or greater arose in other Towns and Corporations of less consideration Howsoever the like spirits of Ambition Envy Tyranny and Desire of Government did not so far prevail as they did in that City of Los Reyes And now dissention and quarrels over-ran all and amidst these Turmoils the poor Prince Manco Inca had the misfortune to be killed though he remained content and quiet in his retirement and became a voluntary exile whilst other men striving for his Empire committed many murthers and slaughters as appeared in the late Wars and we might apprehend others more bloudy yet to come in case it were possible for any to be more bloudy and cruel than those which were past And here it is to be noted That Diego Mandez and Gomez Perez with six other Spaniards whom we formerly nominated and mentioned to have made their escape out of prison where they had been confined by the faction of the Piçarros and by the Justice of Vaca de Castro and having taken refuge with this Inca they by his means came to know and receive all the Informations and Advices concerning the new Troubles and Dissentions arising upon the execution of the new Laws for whereas it was reported that the Vice-king came to turn all things upside down and to change and alter all the Constitutions of the Countrey the Inca who was encompassed within the craggy and lofty mountains was informed by his Subjects of all these revolutions which he thought might be of benefit and concernment to him With this news Diego Mendez and his Companions were highly pleased and persuaded the Inca to write a Letter to the Vice-king desiring his Licence to be enlarged from his retirement and appear in his presence and serve his Majesty in any thing as occasion should offer the Inca was induced at the persuasion of the Spaniards to make this Petition who told him that it might be a means to open a way to his recovery of the whole Empire or at least of the best part of it The Spaniards also wrote as from themselves desiring a pardon for what was past and a protection or safe conduct in the attendance of his Lordship to perform their duty to him Gomez Perez was the person appointed and elected to be Ambassadour from

as well Spaniards as Indians who were inwardly affected with such passionate expressions Upon Notice of this Sentence the Friers of the City of Cozco flocked to the Prison to instruct the Prince in the Christian Doctrine and to perswade him to be Baptized after the example of his Brother Don Diego Sayri Tupac and his Uncle Atahualpa The Prince readily accepted of the offer to be Baptized and told them that he was glad to obtain the benefit of the Christian Ordinances upon the Testimony and Authority of his Grand-father Huayna Capac who declared That the Law which the Christians taught them was better than their own and being by Baptisme received into the Church of Christ he would be called Philip after the name as he said of his Inca and King Don Philip of Spain But this Function was performed with as much Sadness and Sorrow as that of his Brother 's was celebrated with Joy and Triumph as before declared Though this Sentence against the Prince was published every where and that all we have said and much more appeared which we for brevity sake omit which might perswade the World that the same would be executed yet the Spaniards of the City as well Seculars as Religious were of Opinion that the Vice-King would not proceed to an Act so unhumane and barbarous as to kill a poor Prince deposed and dis-inherited of his Empire which could never be pleasing and acceptable to King Philip whose Clemency would rather have ordered his Transportation into Spain than passed this Condemnation of him to death which he had never deserved But the Vice-King it seems was of another Opinion as we shall see presently in the following Chapter CHAP. XIX The Sentence is executed upon the Prince The endeavours used to prevent it The Vice-King refuses to hearken thereunto With what Courage the Inca received the stroak of Death THE Vice-King resolving to execute his Sentence which he believed to be for the Safety and Security of the Empire caused a Scaffold to be raised in the chief place of the City This was so new and strange a resolution to all People that the Gentlemen Friers and other grave Persons were so concerned for it that they met together and drew up a Petition to the Vice-King representing to him the Barbarity of the Fact which would be scandalous to the World and disapproved by his Majesty That it would be much better to send him into Spain for tho' Banishment be a lingering Torment yet it is a token of Clemency much rather than the Sentence of a speedy Death a Petition being drawn up to this effect with design to be delivered with all the supplication and intercession in behalf of the Prince the Vice-King who had his spyes abroad and by them was informed of the Petition which was preparing with the Subscription of many hands thereunto resolving not to be troubled with such Importunities gave Order to have the Gates of the Court shut and no Man suffered to come to him upon pain of Death And then immediately he issued out a Warrant to have the Inca brought forth and his Head cut off without farther delay that so the disturbance of the Town might be appeased by a speedy execution whereas by giving time a Combustion might be raised and the Prince rescued out of his hands Accordingly the poor Prince was brought out of the Prison and mounted on a Mule with his hands tyed and a Halter about his Neck with a Cryer before him publishing and declaring that he was a Rebel and a Traytor against the Crown of his Catholick Majesty The Prince not understanding the Spanish Language asked of one of the Friers who went with him what it was that the Cryer said And when it was told him that he proclaimed him an Auca which was a Traytor against the King his Lord which when he heard he caused the Cryer to be called to him and desired him to forbear to publish such horrible Lyes which he knew to be so for that he never committed any act of Treason nor ever had it in his Imaginations as the World very well knew But says he tell them that they kill me without other cause than only that the Vice-King will have it so and I call God the Pachacamac of all to witness that what I say is nothing but the Truth After which the Officers of Justice proceeded forward to the place of Execution As they were entering into the Chief Place they were met by great numbers of women of all Ages amongst which were several of the Blood Royal with the wives and daughters of the Caciques who lived in places adjacent to the City all which cryed out with loud Exclamations and cryes accompanied with a flood of Tears saying Wherefore Inca do they carry thee to have thy Head cut off What Crimes what Treasons hast thou committed to deserve this usage Desire the Executioner to put us to Death together with thee who are thine by Blood and Nature and should be much more contented and happy to accompany thee into the other World than to live here Slaves and Servants to the Will and Lust of thy Murderers The noise and outcry was so great that it was feared lest some insurrection and out-rage should ensue amongst such a Multitude of People then gathered together which was so great that with those who filled the two Places and the Streets leading thereunto and who were in Balconies and looking out at Windows they could not be counted for less than 300 thousand Souls This combustion caused the Officers to hasten their way unto the Scaffold where being come the Prince walked up the Stairs with the Friers who assisted at his Death and followed by the Executioner with his Faulchion or broad Sword drawn in his hand And now the Indians seeing their Prince just upon the brink of Death lamented with such groans and out-cries as rent the Air and filled the place with such noise that nothing else could be heard Wherefore the Priests who were discoursing with the Prince desired him that he would command the People to be silent whereupon the Inca lifting up his right Arm with the Palm of his hand open pointed it towards the place from whence the noise came and then loured it by little and little until he came to rest it on his right thigh Which when the Indians observed their Murmur calmed and so great a silence ensued as if there had not been one Soul alive within the whole City The Spaniards and the Vice-King who was then at a Window observing these several passages wondred much to see the obedience which the Indians in all their passion shewed to their dying Inca who received the stroke of death with that undaunted Courage as the Incas and Indian Nobles did usually shew when they fell into the hands of their Enemies and were unhumanely butchered and cruelly treated by them as may appear in our History of Florida and other Wars which were carried on
