hereunto,

gave
Almagro
a
me~ting,
at which they had opportunity
of difcourfe together at large.; but that they might have more time mumaNy to

and that he might alfo oblige

who was very much

that he would go aboard

for
three or four Days ; and in the mean time his Army might proceed
in
their March to that place, where
he
c.lefigned to crofS upon them by

and
again
joyn Yvitli them. With this intention-
Almagro
embarked on the
Ship
to the
great
contentment of
N oguerol,
and having
a
good pafiage by
Sea,
he
f
peedily
over–
cook his Army, where we !hall leave him for a while, untill we have given
an
account of the general infutTe6l:ion of the
Indians,
who, after the depanure of
Al–
magro
out of
Chili,
revolted from the fubjeetion of the
Spaniards.
In
order umo which, we rnuft
call
to mind, that fo foon as
Almagto
was de–
parted from
Cou o
on his way to
Chili,
and the other Captains on their refpettive
Enterpri[es ; that Prince
Manco Inca
finding the Governour
Pifarro
at
1eifure and
eafe, moved him
a
fecood time to comply with chofe Capi.tula.tions which were
agreed bct\veen the
Indians
and the
Sp11niard1,
and which he
himfelf
had promifed
to fee executed and performed, that is, to fee him reftored
unto
the poffeffion
and enjoyment of
hiS
Empire ; the which he now more earnefily urged, that
fo
his people might live in peace and quiemefs, and be encouraged by fuch obliga–
tions to
affifi:
and ferve the
Spaniards.
The
Governour and his Brothers were
much out of countenance at this motion, not knowing what fublbntial reply to
· make to this demand , nor how to entertain rhe
Inca
longer with vain hopes and
expectations
:
Howfoever, not to make him defperate, they told him,
th;it
though they were not unmindfull of the Capirulations, to a performance of
which they had obliged themfelves; yet feveral accidents having lately happened,
which had difappointed as yet the performance of the agreement, they could not
put the fame in execution, untill they had received an anfwer from the Emperour
their Lord and Mall:er ; to whom having given intelligence of thefe Capitulati–
ons, and that one point of them was
his
Refiauration to the Empire, they could
not
in
good manners, and in duty, but attend his Majefiy's pleafure therein, which
they did not doubt but would fpeedily be broright by
Hemando Piyarro,
and prove
r the fa tisfaetion of the
Inca,
in
regard that a Prince
fo
jufi and religious as their
Emperour, could not doe lefs than confirm and ratifie that agreement; and there–
fore deGred him to have patience untill the Arrival of
HernPindo,
who would
dear
and remm e a11
the obllruetions which at prefent retarded the execution of this
agreement.
In
the mean time intelligence coming of the Arrfval of
Hernando
pj.
~arro
at
Tumpi~,
and the Marquis
finding
hereby a good excufe to
leave
Co~co,
as
he l ad long deGred, that he might avoid the imp<;>rrunity of the
Inca,
and vifit his
ne\v Plantation of
Los Reyes,
which he had lately begun, and delired to fee
fini–
{hed ; he told him, that to expedite the Commands of his Imperial Majefiy
in
order to his Refiauration ,
it
was neceflary for
him
to meet and receive
his
Bro–
ther
H ernando Pir_1irro
;
and therefore he defrred his leave for
l
fhort time to make
that Journey, aifuring him, that bis fiay fhould not be long, before he returned a–
gain
to
perform and comply with the Capitulations
agr~ed
5
and in the mean
cime that his Highnefs would be pleafed
to
retire
inro
his Forcrefs for his own
bett;r quiet, and fatisfaCl:ion, and fecuricy of the
Spaniard;,
and
to
remain in that
place uncill his
~ecurn, w~ere
his Brocheys
~nd
Companions would attend and
ferve him

co
their
duty and
obhgauon.
