Iones was earnest to goe aboord but sundry of vs desired to make further discouery and to finde out the Indians habitations so we sent home with him our weakest people and some that were sicke and all the Corne and eighteene of vs staied still and lodged there that night desired that the Shallop might returne to vs next day and bring vs some Mattockes and Spades with them When wee had marched fiue or six miles into the Woods and could find no fignes of any people wee returned againe another way and as we came into the plaine ground wee found a place like a graue but it was much bigger and longer then any wee had yet seene It was also couered with boords so as wee mused what it should be and resolued to dig it vp where we found first a Mat and vnder that a faire Bow and there another Mat and vnder that a Boord about th 〈…〉 quarters long finely carued and painted with three Ty●es or broches on the top like a Crowne also betweene the Mats we found Bowles Trayes Dishes and such like Trinkets at length wear came to a faire new Mit and vnder that two Bundles the one bigger the other lesse we opene 〈…〉 the greater and found in it a great quantitie of fine and perfect Red Powder and in it the bone 〈…〉 and skull of a man The skull had fine yellow haire still on it and some of the flesh vnconsumed there was bound vp with a Knife a Packneedle and two or three old Iron things It was boun 〈…〉 vp in a Saylers Canuas Casacke and a payre of Cloth Breeches the Red Powder was a kind of● Emba●lment and yeelded a strong but no offensiue smell It was as fine as any Flower We opened the lesse bundle likewise and found of the same Powder in it and the bones and head of a little childe about the legges and other parts of it was Bound strings and Bracelets of fine white Beads there was also by it a little Bow about three qu●rters long and some other odde knackes we brought sundry of the pretiest things away with vs and couered the Corps vp againe After this we digged in sundry like places but found no more Corne nor any things else but graues Whilest we were thus ranging and searching two of the Saylers which were newly come on the shoare by chance espied two houses which had beene lately dwelt in but the people were gone They hauing their Peeces and hearing no body entred the houses and tooke out some thing and durst not stay but came again told vs so some seuen or eight of vs went with them and found how wee had gone within a flight shot of them before The houses were made with long young Sapling Trees bended and both ends stucke into the ground they were made round like vnto an Arbour and couered downe to the ground with thicke and well wrought Mats and the doore was not ouer a yard high made of a Mat to open the Chimney was a wide open hole in the top for which they had a Mat to couer it close when they pleased one might stand and goe vpright in them in the mi●st of them were foure little Tru●ches knockt into the ground and small-stickes lai● ouer on which they hung their Pots and what they had to seeth round about the fire they lay on Mats which are their

whereof caused Mango fearing to be hemmed in of all sides to leaue Cusco despairing to recouer his estate with twenty thousand Indians setling himselfe on the Mountaines ouer Guamanga When Gasca the President sent for him after promising him peace he refused as warned by Atabalibas example Almagro would haue entred Cusco in his owne right as Gouernour which Ferdinand Pizarro refused till he had leaue from the Marquesse But he by night-entred and imprisoned both Gonzales and Ferdinand Pizarro The next day hee was proclaimed Gouernour according to the Imperiall commission He hearing of Aluarado and fearing his comming sent to him Messengers which Aluarado stayed but was soone after taken by Almagro in his Tents Then doth hee returne to Cusco pompous swearing to cast out all the Pizarrists Aluarado and Gonzales corrupting their keepers get out of prison and acquaint the Marquesse with these things who prouided fiue hundred men to march against him but the case was compromitted Yet did the Marquesse set men to murther Almagro by the way as hee should come to the place appointed which tooke no effect hee being warned thereof After this they are reconciled Oaths going before and after which soone after were broken and brake out into open warres in which Almagro was taken sentenced to death which no pleading appeale intercession could reuerse but he was first strangled in prison and then beheaded by Ferdinand Pizarro who had before beene his prisoner His Father is not knowne hee left a Sonne by an Indian Concubine bearing his owne name Diego The Marquesse sent his Brother Ferdinand to Spaine with the processe of Almagro and the Kings fifts In the meane time one Rada a friend of Almagro with yong Diego his son conspire against the Marquesse who contemning their meannesse was by them slaine in his owne house with his halfe brother Martin de Alcantara Diego Almagro inuades the gouerment and makes all to sweare to him till Caesar had otherwise prouided Hee goeth to Cusco and there slayeth Garcia Aluarado who had stabbed Sortello and would haue done as much for him Caesar hearing of these broyles sent the Licentiate Vacca di Castro thither with commission betwixt whom and Diego was fought a bloudy battell three hundred slaine on Caesars side one hundred and fiftie Diego fleeth to Cusco but by Roderigo Salazar on whom hee had bestowed many benefits was betrayed to Vacca who cut off his head About this time the Decree for the Indians libertie was promulged and Blascus Nunnez Vela made Vice-roy of Peru who arriuing at Nombre de Dios A. 1544. there met with many Spaniards which had gotten much by the sale of Indian slaues hee committed to the Officers and would haue confiscated their money as against the late Law which being done by him in a place out of his iurisdiction it was vpon intercession restored Going to Panama hee causeth the Indians to be freed at Tumbez he meets with a Priest and a seruant of Gonzales Pizarro which had beene in the battell against Almagro and hanged them both He executed a Frier also which had taxed the seueritie of Caesars Edict and ill rewarding those which had serued him And whiles he would remit nothing of vtmost rigour he procured the hate of all which after brake forth into a rebellion He committed Vacca de Castro into prison whereupon the Spaniards chose Gonzales Pizarro their Leader Gouernor and Procurator generall of the Peruan Prouinces The Vice-roy also put the Kings Factor to death whose brother the Licenciat Caruaial sware to be auenged of him The Vice-roy after this was taken and imprisoned but soone after sentenced to be sent back to Spaine by Aluarez who at Tumbez freed him His brother Vela Nunnez seeking to raise forces for him was taken and executed Ciuill wars grew hot a battel was fought betwixt Pizarro and the vnfortunat Vice-roy there taken whom Caruaial in reuenge of his brothers death caused to be done to death Gasca a man of great subtilty was sent to appease those affaires who made the Indians to beare the carriages of his Armie on their shoulders chained on a rowe to preuent their flight some fainting vnder the weight of their burthens others with extreme thirst Those which could not march with the Armie the Spaniards freed by cutting off their heads to auoide the delay of the chaine or if they were tied with ropes they ranne them thorow with their weapons of some they cut off the legs of others the nose or armes Gonzales Pizarro the chiefe of the Rebels ouercame Centenus in one battell but in another was taken by Gasca and executed and after him his Camp-master Caruaial a cruell man which would deride his owne Countrimen when he executed them bidding them because they were Gentlemen horsemen chuse which tree they would hang on Gasca ordained that the Indians should pay tribute to their Lords onely of such things as the Countrie yeelded For before the Spaniards forced them by tortures to bring them Gold if any not hauing it fled those torturers into the Woods the Spaniards hunted them out with Dogs and many so found were torne with Dogs others hanged themselues Once the men of Peru conceiued so hard an opinion of the Spaniards and of their cru lties that they not onely denied them to be the sonnes of God but thought that they were not borne into the world like other men supposing that so fierce and cruell a creature could not be procreated of man and woman They called them therefore Uiracochie that is Sea-froth as if they thence had receiued originall Nor can any alter this their opinion so deeply rooted but God Almightie saying The windes ouerthrowe trees and houses fire burnes them but these Viracochie deuoure all things ●nsatiably seeking Gold and Siluer which as soone as they haue gotten they play away at Dice warre kill one another robbe blaspheme wickedly forsweare and denie God neuer speake truth and vs they haue spoyled of our Countrie and fortunes Lastly they curse the Sea which hath brought to the Land so fierce and dreadfull an issue If I asked for a Christian they would not answere nor looke on mee But euery childe could say There goeth a Uiracochie They hid their ancient treasures that the Spaniards should not finde them saying that all which they got in comparison of these hidden was but as a graine of Maiz to a dishfull Some they buried in the Earth and some ●b●y
