Sifter, and w,ife, ·in this Pa!ley Our Father the Sun hath commanded that we fhould

is necef{ary that we nol}? (eparate each from the other, anq takf dijferent ways, that fo we

Governours proceeded 6y divers

11dorned with fuch Habit as Our Father the Sun had vefted them in, and obferving that

their Ears werc bored through, for wearing ¡ewels, and '!'ore large and open /ban ufual,

that they might hear

, with fuch admiration of their figure and Perfons, and a/lured"with the ptomifes they

other, the Jame thereof

encreafed, that gredt numbers, 6Qth of ./Uen and Women, fack!d

together,

6eing

willing

fo!low to what place foever they fhould 1,uide them.

Thus great multitudes

People being ajfembled together, the Princes gave order that

Pr(lVijion fhould be made, of fuch fruits, as the Earth proditr:ed for their fuften,mci, left

being fcattered ab.road to gain their food, the main boqy fhould be dividdj and the numbers

diminifhed: others in the mean time were employed in brú!ding hou/es,

which the Prince

,gave them a model and form.

thiJ manner our Imperial City 6egan to be pcopled, being

divided into two parts, oneofwhich

cal!ed

Hanan Cozco,

with this dijference onely, ,hat the Vpper
