I can

ith that he

travelled
to
Huamanca
, \
here
a
Kinfman of
his lived
who was a Noble perfon and one of the richefi Inhabitants of that
Ciry;
and
was received by him as kindly as
if
he had been
his
own Son, and
was careffed
and treated by him for many days, and afterwards was fenc away with all chings
oece!fary and convenient
for
him. We
fhall
conceal the name of this
his
Kinfman, becaufe
it
is
not juO:ifiable to receive and protea: a perfon condemned,
or
who
fiands outlawed by the Royal Jufiice. This efcape of
AgHire
was
one
of
the firangefi things that happened in thofe days, confidering the diligent fearch
which
was
made for
him
by the Judge, and the follies of
AgHire
after
he
had
committed the Murrher , though they happened well, and by
his good forrune
were the caufe of his prefervation: for if he had taken refuge in a Convent, o
which there were but three in Town ; namely, that of our Lady, of the
Seraphi–
ca]
Sr.
Franci:s,
and of the Divine
Sc.
Drnniniclz.,
he had certainly been difc
'ere
and delivered
to
J
ufiice: but having thus efcaped, the Governour wa:s·not a little
angry and afhamed
to
fee his
J
ufiice eluded, and the Offender placed out of
reac
of the Law. Howfoever he was praifed by the bold and daring Souldiers,
"' ho
faid that, if there were many
Aguiru
in the World who darfi boldly advencure
co
vindicate
their
difhonours by fuch
a
revenge, the Officers of Jufiice would
pot
be
fo
infolent
and
arbitrary as
they
now !hew chemfelves.
