Sword to make frayes and now want nothing to liue like a Christian but a Concubine which I meane to bring home shortly I once reproued an Indian for dicing and blasphemie Wee saith he learned these examples of your selues And the Indians which are so lewd are such vsually as haue beene brought vp by some Spaniards which studie nothing else These for the most part are the Miracles which the Spaniards haue done amongst the Indians Many other Indians being demanded whether they bee Christians answere they are because the Bishop hath crossed and blessed them they haue built a Church set vp there our Ladies Image and gotten a Bell. I asked one whether he were a Christian What said he would you haue me bee a Bishops seruant ten or twelue yeeres and keepe his Mule Others asked thereof say that a Priest washed their heads foure or fiue times c. Hee reciteth the Letter of Didacus Lopez de Zunega and other passages of Spaniards vices In the third Booke Benzo relateth the Acts of the Spaniards in Peru. Francis Pizarro Diego Almagro and Fernand Luques a Priest enter into a league of Triumuirate for the Southerne Discoueries and therein to share equally both the care charge and gaine They procure ships and conuenient prouisions and with two hundred and twentie Souldiers Pizarro and Almagro in the yeere 1526. one a little after the other set sayle for Panama Pizarro hauing sayled three hundred miles goeth on land and is repelled by the Indians himselfe wounded and many slaine Hereupon he returneth to Panama Almagro went vp a Riuer in another Region and was kindly entertayned and brought thence three thousand Duckets of Gold with which in his returne he came neere to the place where Pizarro had receiued his bad entertainment and himselfe in fight with them lost one of his eyes and many of his Souldiers Being comne to Panama with those showes of Gold they redintegrate their designes and with two hundred Souldiers and many Indian slaues setting sayle landed in another place where they also were beaten backe to their ships and many slaine Thence they went to the I le Gorgon a small and desart Iland sixe leagues from the Continent The Golden hopes would not permit them to giue ouer that which this strength could not enable them to winne and therefore Almagro is sent to Panama to reinforce and encrease their numbers Hee returned with eightie fiue Spaniards and found Pizarro and the rest almost starued Being refreshed they set sayle and againe landing were repelled with the losse of some Souldiers and went to a desart Iland which they called Cock-Iland for the shape of the Cape or Promontorie Almagro againe returneth to Panama for more Souldiers to bee reuenged on these Indians Most of the Spaniards cursing their couetousnesse would haue returned with him but were not permitted no not to write to their friends which yet some closely did complayning of the Countrie the leaders and their designes Pedro de los Rios was then newly Gouernour at Panama and hearing hereof presently sent one to Cocke-Iland to Pizarro that hee should not detayne any there against his will whereupon they all saue fourteene departed These liued on fish till Almagro came who also could bring no supply by reason of the ill rumour At last they agreed to sayle by the shoare and search if any riches there presented themselues They sayled fiue hundred miles and came to Chira a Prouince of Peru and there going on shoare tooke some cattell and Indians to learne the Spanish Tongue Then returning to Tumbez when no Spaniard had so much courage Peter of Candie a Greeke borne in Candie aduentured to goe on shoare which he did armed with a two-hand Sword This spectacle of a bearded man was no little wonder to the Natiues The Gouernour vsed him kindly leading him into the Fortresse wherein was a Temple to the Sunne full of stupendious riches At the gate hee found certaine beasts like Lions and two Tigres but harmlesse And when the Gouernour would haue giuen him at his departure certaine pieces of Gold hee seemed to contemne them vtterly so to dissemble the true cause of his comming Then comming aboord he related what hee had seene and they with ioy returned to Panama Hereupon Pizarro is sent to Spaine by Almagro and Luquez to obtaine of Cesar the conquest of that Prouince for which purpose they borrowed 1500. Duckets He notwithstanding makes the sute in his owne name and accordingly obtayning commission returned with his brethren Fernandez Gonzales Iohn Pizarri and Martin de Alcantara Hence grew a quarrell his partners esteeming him perfidious till Gama compounded the matter twixt him and Almagro Luques being excluded and therefore afterwards surnamed The Foole that Almagro should employ his wealth and therefore participate in the honours swearing each to other and taking the Sacrament thereupon Thus Pizarro went from Panama with 150. Souldiers and many Horses leauing Almagro shortly to follow Hee came to Colonchia thence to the Iland Puna where hee was well entertained till rapes and robberies made the Natiues take Armes which was to their greater losse the Spaniards getting the victorie Thence Pizarro went to the Continent of Tumbez fiftie miles distant Where the Natiues refused his friendship and sought to oppose him but he by night entred the Riuer and being guided by vnpassable wayes made a great slaughter of them spoyled the Citie and robbed the Sunnes Temple Atabaliba King of Peru was then at Cassiamalca who hearing that a strange bearded People had robbed his Subiects sent to Pizarro threatning him if he continued thus or there Pizarro answered that hee was sent by his Emperour to succour those which desired his friendship nor might he safely returne to him except hee had first seene his Royall person and declared to him things good both for his body and soule Thus hee trauels thorow Chira and by the Lords in the way is sued to for friendship which hated Atabaliba Meeting with a nauigable Riuer he layd the foundation of a Colonie there called Saint Michaels and shared the spoyles amongst his followers Atabaliba derided their paucitie and sends to them if they loued their liues to be gone But he proceeded to Cassiamalca and thence sent messengers to the King then two miles off to signifie his desire of acquaintance Fernand Pizarro told him that hee was brother to the Leader who was sent from the Pope and Cesar to desire his friendship and therefore desired audience hauing some speciall matters to deliuer to him after which hee would bee gone The King answered hee would first haue him depart his confines The night following they prepared themselues for fight The next day the King was in Pompe carried on mens shoulders guarded with fiue and twentie thousand Indians Friar Uincent de valle viridi a Dominican carrying in the one hand a Crosse in the other a Breuiarie went to

since the yeare 1504. When we shall say that the Spaniards haue wasted your Maiesties and laid you desolate seuen Kingdomes bigger then Spaine you must conceiue that we haue seene them wonderfully peopled and now there is nobody left because the Spaniards haue slaine all the naturall inhabitants by meanes aforesaid and that of the Townes and Houses there remaineth onely the bare wals euen as if Spaine were all dispeopled and that all the people being dead there remained onely the wals of Cities Townes and Castels Your Maiestie haue not out of all the Indies one maruedy of certaine perpetuall and set rent but the whole reuenewes are as leaues and straw gathered vpon the earth which being once gathered vp doe grow no more euen so is all the rent that your Maiestie hath in the Indies vaine and of as small continuance as a blast of winde and that proceedeth onely of that the Spaniards haue had the Indians in their power and as they doe daily slay and rost the inhabitants so must it necessarily ensue that your Maiesties rights and rents doe wast and diminish The Kingdome of Spaine is in great danger to be lost robbed oppressed and made desolate by forraigne Nations namely by the Turkes and Moores because that God who is the most iust true and soueraigne King ouer all the world is wroth for the great sinnes and offences that the Spaniards haue committed throughout the Indies But had chosen Spaine as his minister and instrument to illuminate and bring them to his knowledge and as it had bin for a worldly recompence besides the eternall reward had granted her so great naturall riches and discouered for her such and so great fruitfull and pleasant lands c. In as much as our life is short I doe take God to witnesse with all the Hierarchies and thrones of Angels all the Saints of the heauenly court and all the men in the world yea euen those that shall hereafter be borne of the certificate that here I doe exhibite also of this the discharge of my conscience namely that if his Maiestie granteth to the Spaniards the aforesaid diuellish and tyrannous partition notwithstanding whatsoeuer lawes or statutes shall be deuised yet will the Indies in short space be laid desart and dispeopled euen as the I le of Hispaniola is at this present which otherwise would be most fruitfull and fertile together with other the Iles lands aboue 3000. leagues about besides Hispaniola it selfe and other lands both farre and neere And for those sinnes as the holy Scripture doth very well informe God will horribly chastize and peraduenture wholly subuert and roote out all Spaine Anno 1542. The summe of the disputation betweene Fryer BARTHOLOMEVV de las CASAS or CASAVS and Doctor SEPVLVEDA DOctor Sepulueda the Emperours chronographer hauing information and being perswaded by certaine of those Spaniards who were most guiltie in the slaughters and wastes committed among the Indian people wrote a Booke in Latine in forme of a Dialogue very eloquently and furnished with all flowers and precepts of Rhetoricke as indeede the man is very learned and excellent in the said tongue which Booke consisted vpon two principall conclusions the one That the Spaniards warres against the Indians were as concerning the cause and equitie that moued them thereto very iust also that generally the like warre may and ought to be continued His other conclusion that the Indians are bound to submit themselues to the Spaniards gouernment as the foolish to the wise if they will not yeelde then that the Spaniards may as he affirmeth warre vpon them These are the two causes of the losse and destruction of so infinite numbers of people also that aboue 2000. leagues of the maine land are by sundry new kindes of Spanish cruelties and inhumaine dealings bin left desolate in the Ilands namely by Conquests and Commands as hee now nameth those which were wont to be called Partitions The said Doctor Sepulueda coloureth his Treatise vnder the pretence of publishing the title which the Kings of Castile and Leon doe challenge in the gouernment and vniuersall soueraigntie of this Indian world so seeking to cloake that doctrine which he endeuoureth to disperse and scatter as well in these lands as also through the Kingdomes of the Indians This Booke he exhibited to the royall Councell of the Indies very earnestly and importunately lying vpon them for licence to print it which they sundry times denied him in respect of the offence dangers and manifest detriment that it seemed to bring to the Common-wealth The Doctor seeing that here he could not publish his Booke for that the Counsell of the Indies would not suffer it he dealt so farre with his friends that followed the Emperours Court that they got him a Patent whereby his Maiestie directed him to the royall Counsell of Castile who knew nothing of the Indian affaires vpon the comming of these Letters the Court and Cou●sell being at Aranda in Duero the yeare 1547. Fryer Bartholomew de las Casas or Casaus Bishop of the royall towne of Chiapa by hap arriued there comming from the Indians and hauing intelligence of Doctor Sepulneda his drifts and deuises had notice also of the Contents of his whole Booke but vnderstanding the Authors pernicious blindenesse as also the irrecouerable losses that might ensue vpon the printing of this Booke with might and maine withstood it discouering and reuealing the poyson wherewith it abounded and whereto it pretended The Lords of the Royall Counsaile of Castile as wise and iust Iudges determined therefore to send the said Booke to the Vniuersities of Salamanca and Alcala the matter being for the most part therein Theologically handled with commandement to examine it and if it might bee printed to signe it which Vniuersities after many exact and diligent disputations concluded that it might not be printed as contayning corrupt doctrine The Doctor not so satisfied but complaning of the Vniuersities aforesaid determined notwithstanding so many denials and repulses at both the Royall Counsailes to send his Treatise to his friends at Rome to the end there to print it hauing first transformed it into a certaine Apologie written to the Bishop of Segouia because the same Bishop hauing perused the Treatie and Booke aforesaid had brotherly and charitably as his friend by Letters reprooued and counsailed him The Emperour vnderstanding of the Impression of the said Booke and Apologie did immediately dispatch his Letters Patents for the calling in and suppression of the same commanding likewise to gather in againe all Copies thereof throughout Castile For the said Doctour had published also in the Castilian Language a certaine abstract of the said Booke thereby to make it more common to all the Land and to the end ●●so that the Commons and such as vnderstood no Latine might haue some vse thereof as being a matter agreeable and toothsome to such as coueted great riches and sought wayes to clime to other estates then either themselues or their

Predecessors could neuer attaine vnto without great cost labour and cares and oftentimes with the losse and destruction of diuers Which when the Bishop of Chiapa vnderstood hee determined also to write an Apologie in the vulgar tongue against the said Doctors summarie in defence of the Indies therein impugning and vndermining his foundations and answering all reasons or whatsoeuer the Doctor could alleage for himselfe therein displaying and setting before the peoples face the dangers inconueniences and harmes in the said doctrine contained Thus as many things passed on both sides his Maiestie in the yeere 1550. called to Valadolid an Assembly of learned men as well Diuines as Lawyers who beeing ioyned with the Royall counsaile of the Indies should argue and among them conclude whether it were lawfull without breach of Iustice to leuie warres commonly tearmed conquests against the Inhabitants of those Countries without any new offence by them committed their infidelity excepted Doctor Sepulueda was summoned to come and say what he could and being entred the Counsaile Chamber did at the first Session vtter his whole minde Then was the said Bishop likewise called who for the space of fiue dayes continually did reade his Apologie but being somewhat long the Diuines and Lawyers there assembled besought the Learned and Reuerend Father Dominicke Soto his Maiesties Confessor and a Dominican Friar who was there present to reduce it into a Summary and to make so many Copies as there were Lords that is fourteene to the end they all hauing studied vpon the matter might afterward in the feare of God say their mindes The said Reuerend Father and Master Soto set downe in the said Summary the Doctors reasons with the Bishops answeres to the same Then had the Doctour at his request a Copie deliuered him to answere out of which Summarie he gathered twelue against himselfe whereto he made twelue answeres against which answeres the Bishop framed twelue Replyes Doctor Sepulued a his Prologue to the Lords of the Assembly beganne thus Most worthy and Noble Lords sith your Lordships and Graces haue as Iudges for the space of fiue or sixe dayes heard the Lord Bishop of Chiapa reade that Booke whereinto he hath many yeeres laboured to gather all the reasons that either himselfe or others could inuent to proue the conquest of the Indies to be vniust as seeking first to subdue barbarous Nations before we preach the Gospell vnto them which haue beene the vsuall course correspondent to the grant made by Pope Alexander the sixt which all Kings and Nations haue hitherto taken and obserued it is meete and I doe so desire you that I who take vpon me to defend the grant and authority of the Apostolike Sea together with the equitie and honour of our Kings and Nation c. Out of which Replies here followeth the Abstract of two that stand vs insteed The report is vntrue that the Indians did yeerely sacrifice in New Spaine twenty thousand persons either one hundred or fiftie For had that beene so we could not now haue found there so much people and therefore the Tyrants haue inuented it thereby to excuse and iustifie their Tyrannies also to detaine so many of the Indians as escaped the oppression and desolation of the first Vintage in bondage and tyrannie But we may more truely say that the Spaniards during their abode in the Indies haue yeerely sacrificed to their so deerely beloued and reuerend Goddesse Couetousnesse more people then the Indians haue done in a hundred yeeres This doe the Heauens the Earth the Elements and the Starres both testifie and bewaile the Tyrants yea the very Ministers of these mischiefes cannot deny it For it is euident how greatly these Countries at our first entrie swarmed with people as also how wee haue now laid it waste and dispeopled the same wee might euen blush for shame that hauing giuen ouer all feare of God wee will yet neuer the lesse seeke to colour and excuse these our so execrable demeanours considering that only for getting wealth and riches we haue in fortie fiue or fortie eight yeeres wasted and consumed more Land then all Europe yea and part of Asia doe in length and breath containe robbing and vsurping vpon that with all crueltie wrong and tyrannie which we haue seene well inhabited with humane people among whom there haue beene slaine and destroyed twentie Millions of soules In the twelfth and last Reply as followeth The Spaniards haue not entred into India for any desire to exalt Gods honour or for zeale to Christian Religion either to fauour and procure the saluation of their Neighbours no neither for their Princes seruice whereof they doe so vainely bragge but Couetousnesse hath brought them and Ambition hath allured them to the perpetuall dominion ouer the Indies which they as Tyrants and Deuils doe couet to bee parted among them and to speake plainly and flatly doe seeke no other but to expell and driue the Kings of Castile out of all that World and themselues seizing thereupon by Trannie to vsurpe and take vpon them all Royall Souereigntie CHAP.
