The Prince
Huafcar
anfwered
his
Father with a chearfull franknef5, telling
him
that he was over-joyed of this opportunity, wherein he might demonfrrare
~
readinefs to obey his Father
the
Inca,
in
any thing which he might efreem for
his
fervice ; and
that
·fit were neceffiry
for
the better accommodation of
his
Brother
Atahualpa,
that he
!hould releafe other Provinces, provided it may be
to
give
his
Father fatisfatlion he would , dl:eeming nothing
fo
dear and valuab
as
his
pleafare and contentment.
Huayna Capac
having received
this
obliging Anfwet from
his
Son
Huafcar,
gave
him
leave to return to
Couo,
and
then
contrived the ways
in
what manner to
fettle
his Son
Atah11alpa
in
the Kingdom of
flJ!_itu,
adding other Provinces tG his
Crown
and
Dignity
~
he alfo befiowed upon
him
feveral of
his
Captains of befi
experi–
ence, and furnHhed him with
part
Qf
his
Army ;
and in fhort, omitted
nothing
to render
him
great, though
it
were
to
the
pre1udice of the Prince, to wbofe
right
the whole Succeffion and Inheritance appertained
:
And being
a
rnoft tender
and
indulgent Father, and paffiona e
in
the love of this Son, he defigned to
be
an
Af–
fill:ant
to
him
in
the Adminillra
n
of
all
the affairs of his Kingdom, daring
the
time
of
his life : the which refolution was taken both out ofcare and favour to
his
Son, that
fo
he might lay
a
good foundation to his Kingdom, and alfo
that he
might
the better keep the new Conquefis lately made upon the
Sea·
coafr,
and
In–
land Countries, in fubjeetion; for
the
people there being warlike, barbarous,and
befiial, were ready upon
all
occafions to rebell, and rife

For fecuring of which Peace,
it
was the cufiome

to tranfplant the people from one Province to anG>ther,
