The

this their Subm1ffion "}'1th
his
accuftomary Good–
neCS commanding that
m
ce{hmony thereof, the Old Men fhould be ve!l:ed
with the better
fo~
of Garmen

in
co
ken of greater refpeer; and that the com–
mon People fhould be clothed with the more common Apparel; and that he
might not feem wholly
to
flight or
contem~
the offer which the
Cap~ins
and
Souldiers made him of their Arms, he received five hundred of them mto his
Service, not by choice , bqt by lot , lefi .the preferring of one before the other,

fhould feem but a kind of
a
neglect, or difcontent, on
fuch
as were refufed; and
to fatisfie the reft, he advifed them
to
return
to
their homes , left they ihould
otherwife leave their own Countrey naked and undefended; with the Vefimems
which the
Jnca
gave chem, and
his
Behavionr towards chem, both rhe young and
old were
[o
well pleafed and fatisfied, that with loud Acclamations they cryed
out,
How lik! art thou to a Child of the Sun! how worthy art thou
of
the Title of a King!
h019
well doth the Name of being a Friend to the Poor
befit
thee! for no faoner had we
/116-
mitted to be thy SubjeCl:s, before thou djdft load us with
thy
' favours and Benefits. M ay
the Blejfings
of
thy F11ther the Sun light upon thee, and all the Nations
of
the four quarters
of
the World obey and fall down before thee; for thou art tru!J the
Capa
Inca,
who de/erves
Riche1, and abfolute Power, and univerfal Dominion.
With thefe, or the like expref.
fions of Honour, the
Inca Roca
being
faluted by his new Vaffals, and having pro–
vided and efiablifhed MiniHers and Officers to infirutt and govern them, he march-
ed forwards co the bordering Provinces, called
Mfqui, Sacaca, Machaca, Caracara,
and ochers,
as
far
as
Chuquifaca,
which
is
now called the
City
ofPlate:
all
which
were comprehended under the common denomination {)f
charcat
,
though they
were of different Nations and Languages, and were all as eafily reduced, as thofe
, before mentioned,
In
this expedition he enlarged
his
Empire North and South,
a
hundred Leagues, and
as
many more Eaft and W efr; and having as accull:oma–
ry
left Officers and Minillers to teach and inftru& them in matters of Religion
and to govern them by Laws, and gather
his
Revenue, he returned to
Co~co:
where he disbanded
his
Army,
and
rewarded the Commanders according to their ·
Deferts.,
Having atchieved thefe great matters, he feemed now to delire repofe, and at-'
tend onely to Peace, and the quiet Adminillration of
his
Government, in which
he fpent the remaining years of
his
Life, we cannot fay how many; but at length
he came to dye, having not
in
the leafi degenerated from the Vertue of his An–
cefiours; but rather imitated and equalled them in the highefi: frrain of their glo–
rious and martial Aetions, and
in
Good-will and Beneficence towards his People.
He
foun~ed
fome Schools where the
AmautM
taught thofe Sciences which they
had
attame~; ~ear
whereunto
he
built himfelf a Houfe, as we iliall declare in
its
due place, mfhtuted Laws, and uttered grave Sentences : And becaufe
BIM Va–
l~a liat~
made particular mention of fome of them, we
iliall
repeat them from
hi~,
bemg very
r~arkable,
and worthy
to
be noted. He was univerfally be–
wailed by all
his
Sub1e~?
and
embahp~d accor~ing
to the cuf!ome ofthofe
Kings.
He left
Yahuar-huacac,
his
Son and Herr by his lawfull Wife and Siller
Mama
Micay,
to fucceed
him
in
the
Government of
his
Dominions: befides
whom he
left
others,
both
legitimate and
baftard
Children.
