and as it happened he was therein fortunate for that thereby hée escaped great perils and troubles whiche happened to them that went on that voyage and iourney Things that happened to Cortez in the Ilande of Cuba THe Lorde Iames Colori being Admirall and chiefe Gouernour of the new India sent one Iaymes Velasques to conquer the Ilande of Cuba in the yeare 1511. And gaue vnto him men Armour and other thinges necessarie And then Hernando Cortez wente to that conquest as a Clearke to the Treasorer called Michaell de Passamontes for to kéepe the accompts of the Kings fiftes and reuenewes being so intreated and required by the same Iaymes Velasques bycause he was holden for a man both able and diligente And it followed that in the repartition of the lands conquered Iaymes Velasques gaue vnto Cortez the Indians of Manicora● in coniunct company with his brother in lawe called Iuan Xuarez wherevpon Cortez did inhabite in Saint Iames de Barucoa whiche was the first place of habitation in that Ilande whereas he bredde and broughte vp Kine Shéepe and Mares and was the first that hadde there any heard or flocke and with his Indians he gathered great quantitie of golde so that in short time he wared riche and ioyned in company with one Andres de Duero a Merchaunt and put in two thousande Castlins for his stocke He was also highly estéemed with Iaymes Velasques and put in authoritie to dispatch businesse and to giue order for edifices In his tyme be caused a money house to be built also an Hospital At that time one Iuan Xuarez naturall of the Citie of Granada carried to the I le of Cuba his mother and thrée sisters whiche came to the Iland of Santo Domingo with that vicequéene the Lady Mary of Toledo in Anno. 1509. hoping to marrie them there with rich men for they were very poore And the one of them named Cathelina was wont to say That she shoulde be a greate Gentlewoman it was eyther hyr dreames and fantasies or else some Astronomer hadde made hir beléeue so but hir mother was reported to bée very cunning The maydens were beautifull for which cause and also being there but fewe Spanishe women they were muche made of and often feasted But Cortez was woer to the saide Cathelina and at the ende married with hir Although at the first there was some strife about the matter and Cortez put in prison bycause he refused hir for his wife but she demaunded him as hir husband by faith and troth of hand wherein Iaymes Velasques did stande hir friende by reason of an other sister of hyrs which he had but of an euil name It so fell out that one Baltazar Bermudez Iuan Xuares and the two Anthony Velasques with one Villegas accused Cortez that he ought to marrie with Cathelina yet those witnesses spake of euill will many things as touching the affaires cōmitted to his charge alleadging that he vsed secret dealing with certaine persons The which causes although they were not true yet they carried great colour therof For why many wēt secretly to Cortez his house complayning of Iaymes Velasques Some bycause they had not iust repertitiō of the cōquered Indiās and other some not according to deserte Contrariwyse Iames Velasques gaue credit to his talebearers bicause Cortez refused to marrie with Cathelina Xuarez vsed vncourteous words vnto him in the presēce of many that stoode by and also commaunded him to warde And when Cortez sawe himselfe in the stockes he feared some proces of false witnesse as many times dothe happen in those parties At time conueniente he brake the locke off the stockes and layde hand vpon the Sword and Target of the kéeper and brake vp a windowe escaping thereby into the stréete and tooke the Church for Sanctuary But when Iaymes Velasques had notice thereof he was greatlye offended with Christopher Lagos the Iayler saying that for money he had losed him wherefore he procured by al meanes to plucke him out of the Sanctuary But Cortez hauing intelligence of his dealing did resiste and withstand his force Yet notwithstanding one daye Cortez walking before the Churche dore and being carelesse of his businesse was caught by the backe with a Serieant called Iohn Esquier and others and then was put aboorde a Shyppe vnder hatches Cortez was welbeloued among his neighboures who did well consider the euill will that the Gouernour bare vnto him But nowe Cortez séeing himselfe vnder hatches despaired of his libertie and did verily thinke that he shoulde be sent prisoner to the Chancerie of Santo Domingo or else to Spayne who being in this extremitie soughte all meanes to get hys foote out of the chayne and at length he gote it out and the same nighte he changed his apparell with a ladde that serued him and by the Pump of the Shippe he gote out not heard of any his kéepers climbing softly along the Shippe syde he entred the Skiffe and went hys way therewith and bycause they shoulde not pursue after him he losed the Boate of another Shippe that roade by them The Currant of Macaguanigua a riuer of Barucoa was so fierce that he could not gette in with his Skiffe bicause he had no help to row was also very werie fearing to be drowned if he should put himselfe to the land wherefore he stripped himselfe naked and tyed a nyghtkerchiefe aboute hys head with certayne wrytings apperteyning to his office of Notarie and Clearkshippe to the Treasourer and other things that were agaynst the Gouernoure Iames Velasques and in this sorte swamme to lande and wente home to hys owne house and spake with Iohn Xuarez hys brother in law and tooke Sanctuarie agayne with Armour Then the Gouernoure Iames Velasques sente hym worde that all matters shoulde bee forgotten and that they shoulde remayne friendes as in tyme past they hadde bin and to goe with hym to the Warres agaynste certayne Indians that hadde rebelled Cortez made hym no aunswere but incontinent married with mistresse Catalina Xuarez according to his promise and to lyue in peace Iames Velasques procéeded on hys iourney wyth a greate companye agaynste the Rebelles Then sayde Cortez to hys brother in lawe Iohn Xuares bryng me quoth he my Launce and my Crosbowe to the Townes ende And so in that euening hée wente out of Sanctuarie and taking hys Crosse bowe in hande hée wente with his brother in lawe to a certayne Farme where Iames Velasques was alone with his householde seruauntes for hys armye was lodged in a Village thereby and came thither somewhat late and at suche tyme as the Gouernoure was perusing hys Booke of charges and knocked at his dore which stoode open saying Héere is Cortez that woulde speake with the Gouernoure and so wente in When Iames Velasques sawe hym armed and at such an houre he was maruellously afrayde desiring hym to rest hymselfe and also to accepte hys Supper No Sir quoth he my onely comming is but to knowe the complayntes you
