them

hich he firipped
Don Balta[ ar
,
and

him as
naked as he was born; but he fuffered
(ohn
Carceres
to remain
in
his
Shire
per–
haps becaufe his Linen was not
fo
fine as was
Baltafar's;
then
he drew their Bo–
dies into the
Mark~t-place
, and laid _them at
t~e
foot of the Gallo\ s , where I
faw them about nm€ a Clock that mghr.
It
IS
reported that
Francifco Hernandez
did the next day reprove his Lawyer , for being
fo
hafiy in his execution of Ju–
fiice, before he had communicated the ma
teer
firft to him
~
but this was onely a
feigned pretence to gain efieem and credit with the People ; bur fecretly he was
pleafed with
it,
obferving the terrour and confternation this aetion had operated
in the minds of the People, for fince they had not fpared his Majefiy's Accoun–
tant, nor
one of his Captains in the
late
Wars, who had a revenue of
.fifcy
thoa–
fand Ducats
a
year, with a great command over
Jndian1;
what could

whereupon all the
Citizens
fubmitted to rhem, efteeming
their
condition

infolent
and tyrannical

his Lawyer to be his Lieutenant
General, and
ThomM 'Vitzquez.,.,
Francifco

and
Rodrigo

to
be
Cap–
tains of Horfe. Thefe
two
laft,
being
Citizens, were much in favour,
and
kina–
ly
treated
by
Hernande~,
ever fin1:e the beginning of the Rebellion; ancl to oblige
and engage them the more, he conferred on them the Comrna!lds of Captains of
Horfe ;
which they accepted rather
out of
Fear than out of affection
to
his caufe,
or incereft, or expeCl:ation of benefit, or honour from this preferment.

that their

it
w.asbelieved,
that all the City
