he
with prudence diilembled the
whole matter confenting co whatfoever the
Marquis
required ofhim; and
fo
put·
ting
a good
c~ancenance
on it, he chearfully went to the Fortrefs ; and to fuew
his
humility and
plain dealing, he
walked a-foot up the
Hill
unto the .CaCHe: So
foon
as the
Spaniards
faw
him there, they made him a Prifoner, as
G<Jmara
alledges
in
Chapter
1
34,
according to thefe words following :
...
''
Mango,
the Son of
G
11ay111
Capac,
to whom
Francifco Pifarro
gave the
co~~ured

Iumfelf
to
be a Man of Valour, and of a
Spine

" refent affronts, was clapt into Irons, and imprifoned in the Cafile of

Thus far
Gw11tra.
So foon as the
Indians
perceived that their
Inca
was
in
Prifon, and that their
hopes
were
vain,
and
all
the
promifes vanifhed, they made fad complaints an}!
la–
mentations; but Prince
Manco
Inca
comforted them,
faying,
that
he was refolved
to obey the
Spaniards
in every thing with a
ready,
and with a willing
mind,
and
exhorted them to doe the like,
in
regard that fuch was the Command of
Hutl.J1!a
Capac,
f
pecified
in
his
laft
Will
and
Tefrarnent
~
and
therefore that
they
fhould
not
be
inftant,
or
precipitate
matters, untill thev had feen the
ultimate
Hfue
of
this
refolacion ; hoping
that
the
Spaniards
had put
him
under
this
refuaint, that their
munificence and generofity might be more evident to the World, when at the
fame time they iliould rell:ore
rum
to
his
ljheny
and to
his
Empire ; and
in
the
mean time,
that
they
!hould
entertain no
thoughts
of
thePiracochM,
bat fuch
as
\Yere
juft
and
good,
confidering that they were
a
people deiCended
from
Heaven.
Thus
che:
Marquis fairly took his
leave
of
the
Inca,
but privately enjoyned
his
Bro–
thers,
[ohn
and
Gonf':tlo
PifArro,
and the Guards to take care of
his
Perfon, and fecure
him: And
fo
he
proceeded on his Journey to the
City
of
/of
Reyn,
where he re–
ceived his Brother
HernandtJ,
who
brought
him
his
new Comrniffion, Honours and
Titles.,
and welcomed
him
with
Magnificence and Triumph; which
Gom11r1e
in
!he
133d
Chapter relates
in
thefe words :
'' Soon after that
AlmAgro
was departed trom
Chili,
Fernando
Pifarrr>
arrived at
''
Lima,
a
Cit1
of
los R!Ps,
bringing to
Francifco
Pifarro
the Title ofMarquis
de
Los
(( Atavilltu,
and to
D. Diego d4 Almagro
Cominillion for the Government of the
.
«
New Kingdom of
Toledo,
which was bounded
by
the
Territories
of
the New
"
CAj1ile,
then
under the Command and
J
urifdiClion of
Pifarro,
and did extend a
" hundred Leagues South-Ea0:
from thence.
Moreover,
Hermm"o
required
from
'' the Conquerours, in
behalf
of the Emperout, the whole furn received for ran-
,, fome of
Atabaliba,
for that the ranfome of one King is the fole right of another:
" To whkh demand anfwer was made, that the Emperour bad
already
received
~
his-Fifth,
which was as much
as
his
Right
came to, and thac
nothing more
was
,' due
to
him. And herein they grew
fo
warm, that matters proceeded almoft
,:
t~ ~
Mutiny,
faying,
that
in
the Court of
Sp11in
their
Services were
defpifed
and
,,
~1lifi€d,
and that they were
efieemed
rather for
~laves,
than for Souldiers and
4
A~venrurers,
who deferved the Countrey and
Riches
they
had
AtGhieved
by
cc
their lndufirY and
Val~:mr
: But
~o
appeaie them,
Franoifto Piprrro
told them ,
, shat:
what
they had gamed by
their
Bravery and Virtue, they defer ed to enjoy;
,: and
t~at
they
merited the fame
