they haue a set Winde in some places for the day and another quite contrary bloweth in the night Also neere vnto the Coasts they are more subiect to calmes in this burning Zone than further off in the Sea the grosser vapours which arise out of the Earth and the diuers situation thereof being the cause of these differences Such is the force of this naturall situation that in some places it is strange what effects it produceth There is in Peru an high mountaine called Pariacaca whereupon Ioseph Acosta saith he ascended as well prouided as he could being fore-warned and fore-armed by men expert But in the ascent he and all the rest were surprised with so sudden pangs of straining and casting and some also of scowring that the Sea-sicknes is not comparable hereunto He cast vp Meat Flegme Choler and Blood and thought hee should haue cast out his heart too Some thinking to dye therewith demanded Confession and some are said to haue lost their liues with this accident The best is it lasteth but for a time neither leaueth any great harme behinde And thus it fareth in all the ridge of that Mountaine which runnes aboue a thousand and fiue hundred miles although not in all places alike In foure different passages thereof hee found the like difference and distemper but not so grieuous as at Pariacaca Hee ascribeth it to the subtiltie of the Aire in those high Hils which he thinketh are the highest in the world the Alpes and Pirenees being in respect hereof as ordinarie houses compared to high Towers It is Desart the grasse often burnt and blacke for the space of fiue hundred Leagues in length and fiue and twenty or thirty in breadth There are other Desarts in Peru called Punas where the Aire cutteth off mans life without feeling a small breath not violent and yet depriuing men sometimes of their liues or else of their feet and hands which fall off as a rotten Apple from a Tree without any paine This seemeth to be done by the force of cold which in the Northerne and Northeasterne parts of Europe worketh like effects some being found dead suddenly in those sleds in which they came to market sitting therein as if they were aliue and some losing their ioynts by the like cause But this maketh vp the strangenesse of these mortall accidents that this piercing cold Ayre both killeth and preserueth the same bodie depriuing it of life and yet freeing it from putrifaction A certaine Dominike passing that way fortified himselfe against the cold winds by heaping vp the dead bodies which here hee found and reposing himselfe vnder this shelter by these dead helpes saued his life The cause is Putrefaction cannot be procreated where her Parents Heate and moisture are confined and haue little or no force The Seas which compasse this Westerne India besides the Magellane Streits and the Northerne vnknowne for the knowledge whereof our Countrey-men Frobisher Dauis Hudson and others haue aduentured their liues and fortunes and at last haue giuen vs more hope then euer of the discouerie are the great and spacious Ocean which on this side is called the North Sea and on the other side of America is named the South Sea The qualities thereof will better appeare when we come to speake of the Ilands therein §. III. Of the nature of metals in generall of Gold Siluer Quick-siluer and the plenty and Mines thereof in America COncerning the Land of the New World Acosta diuideth it into three parts High Low and Meane which hold almost the same proportion that Master Lambert obserueth of Kent the first hauing some wealth by reason of the Hauens and Ports therein and of the Vines that grow there but are very vnholesome the Hils are healthfull but not fertile except in the Siluer bowels and Golden entralls thereof the third is the most commodious habitation where the soile yeeldeth Corne Cattle and Pasture and the Ayre health The principall thing that hath brought this Westerne India into such request is the Mines and Metals therein The Wisedome of God hath made Metals for Physicke for defence for ornament and specially for instruments in the worke which God hath imposed vpon man That in the sweat of his browes he should eate his bread The industry of man hath added another vse of Metals by weight or stampe conuerting it to money which the Philosopher calleth the measure of all things And a fit measure might it haue beene if the minde of man were not vnmeasurable and vnsatiable in measuring his measure Metals naturally grow as some obserue in land naturally most barren Nature recompensing the want of other things with these hidden treasures and the God of Nature enriching the Indians with this substance otherwise barren of Humane and Diuine knowledge that might as a rich Bride but withered and deformed make her finde many suters for loue of her Portion And would God they which reape heere these Temporall things would sowe Spirituall and giue them Gold tried in the fire and that which is as Siluer tried seuen times I meane the Word of God sincerely preached without the drosse of their owne superstitions And would they gaue them not Iron for Gold an Iron Age for a Golden imposing a heauy yoke of seruitude which hath consumed worlds of people in this New-World and made the Name of Christ and Christian to stinke amongst them yea they abhorre the Sea it selfe for bringing forth such monsters as they thinke the Spaniards whom for their execrable wickednesse they esteemed not to come of humane generation but of the froth of the Sea and therefore call them Viracochie or Sea-froth That which one saith of Religion I may apply to this American World Peperit diuitias filia deuorauit matrem Shee brought forth rich metals and the Daughter hath consumed the Mother her Gold that should haue beene a price in her hand to buy Wisedome hath to these importunate Chapmen sold her freedome It is i a Golden and Siluer Age indeed to the Spaniards for the condition and state which hereby accrueth to them not for the conditions and state of life which they obserue In the yeare 1587. when Acosta came to Peru eleuen millions were transported in the two Fleets of Peru and Mexico almost one halfe thereof for the King In the time when Pollo was Gouernour of Charcas in Peru from the Mines of Potozi alone were drawne and customed euery day thirty thousand Pezos of Siluer euery Pezo amounting to 13. Rials and a fourth part and yet it is thought the one halfe was not customed or as Ouiedo reckoneth one fourth part more then a Spanish Ducket Hee writeth that Anno 1535. three or foure ships came to Siuil laden with none other commodities but Gold and Siluer Miles Philips recordeth that when he returned out of the Indies 1581. there were seuen and thirty sayle and in euery of them one with another thirtie pipes of siluer

VII Of the ancient Oblations Gifts and Sacrifices of the Iewes of their Tithes and of their Priests and Persons Ecclesiasticall and Religious §. I. Of their Oblations Gifts and Sacrifices ALthough Moses doth handle this matter of their Rites and Sacrifices and is herein seconded and interpreted by the succeeding Prophets so fully that it may seeme a powring of water into the Sea to speake needelesly or by our Discourse to obscure rather then illustrate that which is so largely and plainely there expressed yet because of that subiect which we haue in hand I cannot altogether be silent at least of the kindes and heads referring the desirous Reader for his more perfect satisfaction in particulars to those clearer propheticall fountaines Their Rites for time and place we haue already described The next intended part of this Iewish relation shall be of their Oblations which were either Gifts or Sacrifices Their Sacrifices were such oblations wherein the thing offered was in whole or part consumed in diuine worship for the most part by fire or shedding of blood These were of eight sorts Burnt-offerings Meate-offerings Peace-offerings Sinne-offerings Trespasse-offerings the offerings of the Consecration Cleansing and Expiation Philo reduceth them to three Burnt Peace and Sin-offerings according to the three causes of sacrificing The worship of God the obtayning of good things and freedome from euill The Burnt-offerings were by fire consumed the Rites and manners hereof are expressed Leuiticus 1. the fire was to be perpetuall on the Altar being that which GOD miraculously sent from heauen to consume Abihu sacrifice for neglecting which and vsing other his two sonnes Nadab and Ahsbu were stricken by a reuenging fire from GOD. The Meate-offering was made of fine flowre without hony or leuen and with oyle and incense on the Altar or frying pan or ouen or caldron according to the rites prescribed Leuit 2. partly sacred to the Lord by fire the rest to be the Priests The Peace-offerings are with their proper ceremonies enioyned Leuit. 3. and 7 the fat and kidnies were to be burned on the Altar the fat and blood being vniuersally forbidden them for foode the brest and right shoulder was the Priests the rest to the Sacrificer to be eaten the first or at furthest on the second day or else on the third to be burned with fire The Offering for sinnes of ignorance for the Priest Prince People or priuate man is set downe Leuit. 4 and 6. The Sinne-offering in case of contempt where the sinne is committed against God and man willingly with the due manner thereof is expressed Leuit. 6. To these were adioyned Prayers and Prayses with musicall voyces and instruments Cymbals Viols Harpes and Trumpets resounding For he is good for his mercy endureth for euer The sixt kinde of Sacrifices was proper to the Priests at their consecration recorded Leuit 6.20 The seuenth mentioned Sacrifice is of Purification or cleansing as of a woman after childe-birth Leu. 12. or of a Leper 13.14 or for vncleane issues of men and women chap. 15. The eight is the sacrifice of Expiation or Reconciliation on that festiuall or fasting-day before spoken of Leuit. 16. Hereunto may we adde the lights and

then they goe out of the Citie passing by the Riuers side to the burning-place where is prepared a great square Caue full of Wood. Here is made a great Banquet the woman eating with ioy as if it were her wedding-day and after they sing and daunce till the woman bid to kindle the fire in the Caue then she leaueth the Feast and taketh her husbands neerest kinsman by the hand and goeth with him to the banke of the Riuer where she strippeth her of her cloathes and iewels bestowing them at her pleasure and couering herselfe with a cloth throweth herselfe into the Riuer saying O wretches wash away your sinnes Comming out of the Water shee rowleth herselfe into a yellow cloth and againe taking her husbands kinsman by the hand goeth to the said Caue by which is erected a little Pinnacle on which she mounteth and there recommendeth her children and kindred to the people After this another woman taketh a pot with oyle and sprinkleth it ouer her head and therewith annoynteth all her bodie and then throweth it into the Furnace the woman going together with the same Presently after the woman the people throw great pieces of Wood into the Caue so that with those blowes and the fire she is quickly dead and their great mirth is on a suddaine turned into great lamentation and howling When a Great man dyeth all the women of his house both his wife and slaues with whom hee hath had carnall copulation burne themselues together with him Amongst the baser sort I haue seene saith Master Frederike the dead man carried to the place of buriall and there set vpright the woman comming before him on her knees casteth her armes about his necke while a Mason maketh a wall round about them and when the wall is as high as their neckes one comming behind the woman strangleth her the workeman presently finishing the wall ouer them and this is their buriall Ludouicus Vertomannus relateth the same Funerall Rites of Tarnasseri as in other parts of India sauing that there fifteene or twentie men in their idolatrous habit like Diuels doe attend on the fire wherein the husband is burned all the Musicians of the Citie solemnizing the Funerall pompe and fifteene dayes after they haue the like solemnitie at the burning of the woman those diuellish fellowes holding fire in their mouthes and sacrificing to Deumo and are her intercessors to that Diuell for her good entertainment The cause of burning their wiues is by some ascribed to their wonted poysonings of their husbands before this Law by others that the husband might haue her helpe and comfort in the other world Odoricus telleth of a strange and vncouth Idoll as bigge as Saint Christopher of pure Gold with a new band about the necke full of precious stones some one whereof was of value if he valued iustly more then a whole Kingdome The roofe pauement and seeling of the walls within and without the Temple was all Gold The Indians went thither on pilgrimage some with halters about their neckes some with their hands bound behind them some with kniues sticking on their armes and legges and if after their pilgrimage the wounded flesh festered they esteemed that limbe holy and a signe of their Gods fauour Neere to the Temple was a Lake where-into the Pilgrims cast Gold Siluer and Gemmes for honour of the Idoll and reparation of his Temple At euery yearely Feast the King and Queene with the Pilgrims and People assembling placed the said Idoll in a rich Chariot and with a solemne procession of Virgins two and two in a ranke singing before him and with Musicall Instruments carrie him forth Many Pilgrims put themselues vnder the Chariot wheeles where they are crushed in pieces More then fiue hundred persons vsed thus to doe whose carkasses were burned and ashes kept for holy Reliques Otherwise also they will deuote themselues to such a martyrdome in this manner The parents and friends assemble and make a Feast to this Votarie and after that hang fiue sharpe kniues about his necke and so carrie him before the Idoll where he taketh one of his kniues and cryeth For the worship of my God I cut this my flesh and cutting a piece casteth it at the face of the Idoll and so proceeding at the last sayth Now doe I yeeld my selfe to death in the behalfe of my God and being dead is burned as before Our Country-man Sir Iohn Mandeuile reporteth the same Historie of their Idoll-Procession and the ashes of those voluntary Martyrs which they keepe to defend them against tempests and misfortunes He also sayth That some Pilgrims in all their peregrinations not once lifted vp their eye-lids some at euery third or fourth pace fell downe on their knees to worship some whipped others wounded themselues yea killed themselues as is before said Nicolo di Conti reporteth the same in his time Neither is this bloudy custome yet left as Linschoten affirmeth by report of one of his chamber-fellowes that had seene it They haue sayth he a Waggon or Cart so heauie that three or foure Elephants can hardly draw it which is brought forth at Faires Feasts and Processions At this Cart hang many Cables or Ropes whereat all the people hale and pull of deuotion In the vpper part of the Cart standeth a Tabernacle and therein the Idoll vnder it sit the Kings wiues playing on Instruments And while the Procession passeth some cut pieces of their flesh and throwe at the Pagode some lay themselues vnder the wheeles of the Cart with such euent as you haue heard Gasparo Balby relateth the same and addeth That the Priests which haue care of this Idoll and certaine women are consecrated to these deuotions from their Cradles by their Zeale-blind parents And the women prostitute their bodies to gaine for the Idoll whatsoeuer they can get ouer and aboue their owne maintenance This filleth the Citie with Strumpets there being of this Sacred you may interpret it Cursed crue foure hundred in one place of the Citie These haue their place in the Idoll-procession some of them in the Chariot which is drawne by men euery one accounting himselfe happy that can touch or draw the same This he sayth was at Negapaton He further affirmeth That not farre from the Citie of Saint Thomas is the Towne Casta where the the Wife is not burned as at Negapatan but a great Graue being made for the deceased Husband they place the liuing Wife by the dead corps and their neerest kindred cast earth vpon them both and stampe thereon They which marry wed in their owne degree as a Smith to a Smiths daughter and they powre out their prayers at the Image of some Kow or a Serpent called Bittia di Capella Their Bramenes burne Kowes dung and if they intend any warres with other Nations they anoint their Nose and Forehead with those ashes not washing themselues till the euening They which sacrifice themselues to the Pagode
