yYhil~
the. Governour was thus employed
in
doing jufiice at
Huam11nca,
he
received mtelligence that
Almagro
was taken and imprifoned at
Couo;
wherefore
hafining
to
that place, and arriving there, he immediately caufed the Sentence to
be executed, which he had
paffed
upon him before the Battel, not being willing
to
fpend more time
in
new Procefies.
Carate
faith, that they cut his throat
in
the fam place, and by the
fame
Executioner, who put his Father
to death,
and
who frripped him, and took his Cloaths in the fame manner as he had done his
acher's, onely fome friends
agreed
for his Breeches, Wafkoat and Shirr, which
ere
conferved
ro him;
l1is
Body was
laid
our, and expofed the whole day to
publick view ; afterward they carried
it
to che Con enc of our Lady of the
Mn-–
ceds,
and there buried
it
by the fide, or in the very Grave of his Father, without
Windingpfheet or other Shroud chan hi own Cloaths, onel'9 out of charity fome
few Maffes \ ere faid for his Soul.
This was the end of
Don Diego Almagro
Junior,
which
was fo like co that of his
ather,
chat
fortune
feemed
co make the circumfl:ances of
their
lives parallel in
every
thing ; for befides that
they
were Father and on, and had the fame Name;
they \ ere endued with equal courage and conduet in War, and
with the
fame
prudence and counfel
in
Peace; and if there was any thing of excellency more
in
one than in cl)e ocher,
it
appeared
in
the Son_, \ ho from his youth bad been
trai~
ned up
in
good
literature,
in
hich by help of his good
pares
borh for judgqient
and
quic~nefs
of
fancy
he made
great improvement :
they refembled each
other
in
their
Deaths, \.'- hich happened in the fame place, and almofi in the fame
man~
ner ; their Funerals were much
alike,
for having
been
rich and powerfuH,
they
died
fo
poor, that their
Burial-charges
were paid upon
charity;
and to render the
drcumfiance of their live
in
all things agreeable, the Bartels they fought and
loll: \ ere both upon a Saturday.
Thus poor
D on Diego Almagro
Junior, .concluded the Scene of his Life, who had
been r e
bravefl:
Mefti:uJ
(that is, one begot by a
Spaniard
on the body of an

dian
W oman ) that ever this new
World
produced, had he taken the right fide,
and o eyed the Goveroour, who
was
conftituted

omrnHiion from
his
Ma–
jefi:y. He "' as a Man who had a handfome feat on Horfe-back in both Saddles,
either riding with hi legs at
length,
or iliort, a

At

he died like a good

buc finding no fecure place wherein to conceal

they fled to

remained in retirement, and
were
fol–

by
five others,
who
went alfo

received
with .great

.and with
a~
good
