he
entred into the Town,
Alonfo de Marquina

by

he entred into the Monaftery of the

from thence
drew
out

to
Bafco Godinez,,

who had made himfelf
Chief

of them as he {hou]d think
fit;
that is, that he might kill and dell:roy all fuch as
had been privy
to
his plots and defigns; which he accordingly did, and banHhed
many
into parts far remote from the
City
of
Plate,
namely four,
five .and
fix hun–
dred leagues from thence : he caufed alfo
Garci Tello
de

to be quartered, "ho
was
one
of
Don Sebaftian'
Captains, and had been commHiionated thereunto by
Bafco

Diego

to
be
difabled in both his Feer, and afrerwards to ferve in the Galleys ; for a Galley..

Pedro

Though
Baltafar

efcaped the puni{h–

had
defigned for him, yec he could
nor
avoid
a
more fevere judgment which Heaven
had
prepared

news of the Infurrection of
D on Sehaftian
de

ran like lightning
through the
whole Kingdom,
to
the
great
trouble and conll:ernation of thofe who

but
likewife
they
held their lives
by
a hair or
thread,
being
ever
in
danger
of be–
ing
killed in thofi rebellious tumults by the Souldiers, who gaped and longed af-
er c:he enjoyment of their poffeffions. So foon as-this news came ro the City of
