To fuch a pitch of

the whole

had
made
in

of

Conqueroars and
of

It being rhos d( cermined to receive the Vice-king, all the
people
decked them..
felves
~
ith their befl: ornaments and artay, preparing thernfelves againft the day
of his
entry into this
City ;
when
in the mean time

and
Captain
Ditgo de Aguero
were
fcandaloufly
treated by che people, who alway; mu–
tinied againfi cbem, whenfoever as any thing went crofs,

they
had folicited and perfuaded chem

Vice-king;
namely one of chem being Receiver General of the
King's Treafory, and
the

and borh of
chem
being
J
ufiices little e!leemed the lofs of rheir
Indians,
more
in
regard co their own
intere!l: than to the fervice of che Emperour.
In
the mean time the Vice-king
purfuing
his Journey,
put
the new Laws
in
execution in all places wherefoever he arrived, with his ufual feverity and rigour
without admitting any plea to the contrary;
giving
them to
underfiand_,
that he
flood in fear of none,
but
as a good Minifier and Servant to his Maller,
ne
was to
obey his commands
wichouc
refpett or regard unto any.
At length he came
to
the Valley called
Huaura,
where ac the Inn he neither
found
Indian
nor Provifions, nor any accommodacion
whatfoever;
the which
though in reality was caafed by the default and omiffion of che Inhabitants of

he
was
the chief Proprietor of that Valley ;
f
r which reafon he was highly mcenfed
againfr him, and more vehemently, when upon a white Wall of
th~t

as the faying goes, is
