to Dogs they made a fort ofTrumpet with their Heads,

fternation; But all thefe Superfiitions and E1rours were quitted, and rooted out
by the better lnftruetion and
Rudiment~
of
t~e
Inca;
h<?wfoever to indulge their
, humour
fo
far as. was warrantable, they perrrutced them m place ofDogs-heads
to
make their Trumpets with the Heads ofDeer, or Stags, or any other Wild-beafi,
as they pleafed, which afterwards they ufed at their Fefiivals and Balls, and times
of rejoicing ; ·and becaufe the Fleili of Dogs was fo extremely pleafing and
fa–
voury to them, they
gained
the Sirname of Dog; that whenfoever
Huanca
was
named, they added Sir-reverence the Dog.
They had likei ife another Idol,
in
figure and
fuape
of a Man, which was an Oracle through which the Devil
fpake, a1,1d returned Anfwers to all Demands, which uttering noching that was.
in
conmtdiction or difparagement to the Religion which the
Incas
profefied, was
ill
conferved, and left Wldem0,lHhed, thougFi the Idol of the Dog was broken
down and confounded.

this
was always the Ma!l:erpiece of the

it
their Profeffion

take
the Bodies ofMen, by captivating

and alluring their Souls and Minds. All
things paffing

the
HuancM,
and every thing being

and the third
LJacfapallanca.
The attire of
their Heads was ordered nor to be altered in the form and manner of
it,
but
dif–
ferenced onely for diftinClion fake, by v:ariecy of colours. This Province, ' ·hich
anciently was qilled
H11anca,
was
by
the
St1miardJ,
I know not for what reafon,
named
H111anca vi(ka,
without confidering that there is another Province,

the other:
This

is
fituate on the Sea-coaft, and the former far
