U
w
Colo1 ies
were tranfplanted
fro11i
.parts
on
the Sea
Coafl
to the Inland Countries.
F
Rom
anefca
the
Inca
tranflated fome
Indians,
who
were
IncM
of that Nation
to
plant themfi Ive
on
the
River
Apurimac,
becaufe
that
the Climate
of
tha~
Region, from
Coz..co
to
Rimac,
being very hot, agreed bell:
with
the Temperament
or Confiirution of the People of
Nana.ft~,
whofe Countrey
was
in
the fame de–
gree of beat with that of
Apurimac,
whenas on the contrary, the People
which
were tranfplanted from the Defart, which
is
a more cool and moderate Climate,
were fubjeel: to Difeafes
and
Calentures,
and
not able
to
fupport the
intolerable
heats
~
for
which
reafon the
IncM
in the efiabliiliment of their Colonies, had
al–
ways a ref
pe61:
to the Confiitution of the People, that fo they might not pafs
from one Extreme to another,
but that their
new Habitation might correfpond
in
fame degree with the
Air
of their native
Soil.
This regard the
Inca
having
al–
ways to
hiS
Colonies, the
People
which he planted
on die Banks
of
the
River
Apurimac,
were extratl:ed from the hotter Climate ; but there was no need of
great numbers
for
this
occafion,
becaufe that
moll:
of the Land on both fides ofthat
River is rocky and barren; onely there are fame pieces of good ground, which
the
Inca
was defirous to have manured
in
the manner of
Gardens,
and places of
Pleafure; becaufe
that
foil which borders
on
the
River,
produces
mofi
excellent
and
rare
Fruit.
Matters being fettled
in
this
pofture,
a:nd
every thing
efi:abllihed
in
due
order,
relating
to
the Government of the new
acquired
Provinces, the Prince
Rocca
rn–
turned
to
Couo,
where he was kindly received by his Father, and the whole
Court,
and
being then
to
disband
his
forces, he difinllfed
the
Commanders
with
figna marks
of
his
Favour and
Efieem.
And now the
Inca, Capac Tupan
'i.ui,
finding
himfelf
to decay with Y
~ars,
and to
enter into a egion of Life,
which
required eafe and repofe, he refolved to put a
full fiop
to
the enlargement of
his
Conquefis, anc:I onely fpend the remainder of
his Days
in
the
AdrDinillration of
Ju{Hce,
and
performing
matters tendin_g to the
Benefit and
Advantage of
his People.
In
this
eafinelS
feveral
years
palled,
du–
r ing
which time the
Inca.
~rformed .
the part ofa kind and indulgent Prince, and
the People of loving and loyal Subjects, who with all readinefS and affettion ap–
plied
themfelv~
to the fervice of the
Inca
5
particularly
in
building the Tempfe of
the
Sun,
and ereeting other Edifices, herein they fhewed great willingne!S and
diligence,
becaufe
they
were
works recommended
to them
by
the
Inca
;
more–
over
they
of th ir
own
accord, within the Divifion of every
Province,
built other
Houfes for the onvenience and Divertifement of the
Inca.
In this
Profperity
and
Eafe the
Inca,
Capac
Tnpanqui,
died, with the
CharaCler
of a valiant and able Prince, and worthy of the Title
Capac,
which caufed him
to
be much lamented in the Court, and
in
all parts of his Kingdom, with deep
Refentrnents; be was afterwards embalmed, and interred
in
the Sepulchre of
hls
Fathers.
He left
for his Heir
and
Succeifour
Rocca,
his Eldefl: Son, which he
had by
Coya
..Mama Curi-yl/pa,
his
Wife and Sifter; he left alfo
many
other Sons
and
Daughters,
as well natural as legitimate, the precife number
of
which
we
cannot determine, though fome
fay,
that they were above Eighty, which is not
much, for fome of thefe
Inca&
have arrived to a hundred, fame two hundred,
nay fome are
confidently
reported to have had three hundred Sons and Daugh·
ers.
