0 R did the Troubles end here

in

this Empire called

PerH,

nor

were

all the lnfurretl:ions fuppreffed by the Defeat of

Gon9alo Pifarro

and his

Captains, but rather were the pirics of men more furioufly inflamed

than before, as

will

appear by the fequel of this HHl:ory: for we mufi:

know that after the Vietory obtained at

Sacfah11ana,

the Prefident difpatched that

Couo

two of his Captains,

Hernando Mexia

and

Martin de

,

with fome Souldiers in whom they moft confided , ro feife thofe of the

Enemies Party who were fled thither after the Defeat; and

to

prevent their own

Souldiers from plundering or doing fpoil in che

City,

and from taking private re–

venge by bloud or ocherwife, under the pretence of Liberty of War, as

it

was

faid

forne

defigned to doe. The day following, after the execution of

Gonfalo

Pi–

farro

,

and his A.ffociaces, the Prefident raifed his Camp from that famed field , ·

and marched towards the

City,

which though but four

leagues

from thence,

yet

he

was two days on the way ; c1nd

in

that time he detached a Parry of truHy Souldi–
