" as came within their reach. Thus far are the Words of

Gomara.

But

I

have

feen

forne Marginal Notes

in

a

Book wrote by one of the Conquerours of

Peru

.

in which is

this paffage

:

'' That

a

Monky threw

a

fione

at a perfon armed

t.

with a Crofs-bow, named

Villacajlin,

1

and beat out two of his Teeth; he

was

'' afrer'-" ards one of the Conquerours of

PerJJ,

and Lord of a great Counrrey

ca}.

" led

Ayaviri;

but

being taken Prifoner, he dyed

in

Co:uo;

he

was one who

~ook

<

re: with

Pifarro

in

Xaquixag11ana,

where one that owed him a difRleafure gave

<c

him a cut over the face after he yielded to quarter: He was an

honefi

Man

'' and did good to

all,

though he dyed poor, after he was defpoiled of

his

Indi~

'

aru,

and of his Efi:ate.

This

Vtllacaftin

killed the Monky with

his

CrolS-bow

" he

fame

time that the Monky threvv

his

fione.

Th~

far are the Remarks of the Conquerour ; the vvhich I can

in

part confirm, becaufe

I

knevv the perfon, and favv that he vvanted tvvo Teeth

in

the upper rovv of}W

Mouth ;

and

it vvas the common report

in

Peru,

that they vvere beaten out

by

a

Monky.

have thought

fit

to

infert

this Story

as

I

do others of like nature,
