Men, and good Supplies, in arder to a farcher Conqueft;,and fiis Enemies report,
that his Defign was to.advance farcher to che Souchward than Pifarro, wbo[e Go–
vernmenc, as:yet, was not extendea more chan cwo hundred Leagues to che Souch,
from che Equinofüal Line; and that he intended to f~t up ÍOí: himfelf, and aél: on
his own Foundation; che which, as is reponed, was difcovered by che Secrecary
o[ Almagro to Pifarro, whom bis Maíl:er hanged for his Treachery. Buche ie as ic
will, thls is certain, chat Almagro being on his way, and receiving incelligence of
che lmprifonmene of Atahualpa, and of che incredible Riches which he offered for
his Ranfome, refolved to change his Defign, and to join himfelf with his viél:o–
rious Companioa-; for -that a<;rnrding -to Ar-ticles ofAgr-eement between them,
one half of che Benefits and Profics appercained unto him. Accordingly Almt11gro, .
wich his Souldiers~ _arrived in Caf{amarca, greatly wondring to fee chofe heaps of
Gold and Silver which chey had amaífed cogether: Bue in a íhort time afterwards
che Souldiers ofPifarro plainly cold che. People of Almagro, chat in regard chey had
not been prefent at the taking of Atahualpa Prifoner, no íhare of chofe Riches and ·
Spoils bel9nged to chem, which were already gained, nor no pare of that which
was wanting to reach che Line which Atahualpa had drawn, ahd promifed in pay–
ment of his Ranfome. Which vvhen the Almagrians had heard, and confidering
the largenefs of che room, believed thac if ·an the Gofd and Silver of the World
were amaífed togecher, it would never arrive or reach to che heighc of the Line,
they prefencly cried out, that che Inca íhould be killed, fo chat they mighe receive
their íhare of what íhould be cólleéted after his Deach. Thefe and che like rea–
