to place an Ambufcade of

in

by
which

It happened that
Pifarro
came

" where
rnee~ing afterw~rds.
with
Almagro,
they embraced with great.Joy,
and

co
d1fcourfe of md1fferent matcers; but before they
had em

Almagro,
in hearing of the Company, that
" he <hould fpeedily be gone,
for
that he remained there
in
danger of his
Life;
" whereupon without delay he mounted on Horfeback, and witbout fpeaking
one Word more, or Treaty of Bufinefs,
he
returned: When he difcovered
" the Ambufcade, he could not but believe his Eyes, and made grievous Com-
plaints of
Pifarro,
and of the Friar , and of
all
that Party, terming them as fo
'' many
Pi/ates
for the lnjullice of their Sentence. Though
Pifarro
was perfua–

to

him, he
refufed
fo

That
he had com–

to
have fuborned

this Interview, which proved to little benefit, and ferved
to
increafe the Hatred

of
Diego
de
A lvarado,
that
Hernando
Pirarro
wa
fet at Liberty: And
it
was far–
ther agreed, That for fending Writings and Informations into
Spain
about the
whole Matter, the Marquis fhould grant unto
Almagro
the freedom of a Port,
and the conventence
of a
hip, for carrying hi Difpatches, becaufe he had nei–

any
thing againfr the other, umill new

and Advice of
Orgonno1,
wh ,
being
\Veil
acquainted with the
malitiou and angry humour of
Hernando
Pif arro,
very much perfoaded the con–
trary; and indeed when
A lmagro
himfelf conGdered his Errour, he would have de–
tained him, but it was then too late; for it was commonly difcourfed, that
this
turbulent Man would caufe new Commotions, and indeed they were much
in
the rjght; for no fooner was be fet at Liberty, but a Breach enfued. Nor was
Picarro
himfelf very fair, or clear
in
the performance of hi Agreement; for
wlien a new Patent was come from the Emperour, wherein, by a certain Claufe,
it was required, that both Parties fhould remain in po!feffion of what they
were already feized, and though one had gotten and intruded himfelf into the
Land of the other ; yet notwithfianding for
quietne~

continue in the

Pirarro
having
hi
Brother about
him,
and his chiefCounfellour, required
Almagro,
in virtue of chis new Patent,
to quit
the Coumrey, which he himfelf had peopled and difcovered.
Almagro
having
read and confidered that Claufe, anfwered, That he was ready to obey the
Em–
perour's Command, and Royal Signature, according unto. which, he was to keep
Poffeflion of
Couo,
