The
Inca
demands Reftitution of his Empire;
and

An–

wer
was
returned to him thereupon.
T
Hefe Difcourfes
being
ended, the
Spaniards
mounted on Horfeback,
and
the
Inca
into his Chair; then the Governour took the Left hand of the
l11c11
and
his
Brothers, and the other Captains and ouldiers marched in the front, each
Company
by
it
felf; one Company was commanded
to
bring up the Rere, and
a Goard of twenty four foot-Souldiers were ordered to attend and march
by
the
Chair of the
lnca.
Thus when the
Jndian1
found themfelves to join in one Body with
the
Spaniard1,
they were highly pleafed to
be
fo
honoured, and efieemed
worthy
to
aifociate and to join company with
chofe

they
adored for Gods.
In
this order
they
entred into the City with great Joy and Triumph,
the
Inhabitants going
forth to meet them, with Dances and ongs compofed in Praife of the
Viracoch:U

to

and to underfiand

Atahualpa,

his
Anceftours. The Street through which
the
Inca

pafS,
was
covered
with
a
Corn of their
Ru!bes
and
Canes, and
fo~e
triumphal Arches erected at a certaid difiance each from the other, decked
1th
Flovvers after the Fa!hion which they ufed at the Triumphs
of
their Kings.
The
s_paniards
condueted the King to one of the Royal Palaces, called
eaf[ana,
fi..
tuate
in
the Market-place, fronting
to
the
Coloffeo,
belonging
to
the
Jefuites
where
they
left him
highly
pleafed, and big with expe&tion to be reftored co
