employed rowards che advancement of che common good and benefir .of his

people

he te-aílumed his intencions of vifüing again che Confines Qf his Domi–

nions; rhac fo he mighc afford his people the comencmenc of [eeing his Perfon,

and reétifying che corruption and negligence of his Miniíl:ers by his own perfonal

ap~rance. With chis occaGori he raifed fn Arrny o( ten thoufand M~n, and

Hatim Colla,

and·che Confines of

Chucuytu,

which is

fa;.

rnous a Province, and

abounding with people, that when the

Spaniards

.divided

that Countrey, chey pre[enced that pat:cel of ground to the Emperour. So foon

as che

Was emred into

he fent Meilimgers

che Inhabitarits, rhat

leaving their ancienc cuíl:oms, they íhould receive che Laws and Cammandmencs

of che Sun, ánd íhould woríhip and adore him for their God: And they, .in dué

comphance hereunto, anfwered, That chey were ready and willing with all affec–

tion

and éordialiry to

receive his Injunétions; for that he being defcended from

the Sun, they were well aífuréd of

and therefore with

all

The

Inca,

·according to accuíl:omed goódnefs, received chem grátiouíly, pre–

fenting them with füch gifts as were in eíl:eem amongfl: thofe

Indian.r :

And

finding the füccefs of thefe meffages

anfwer his expe&a(ions, he was encoura-

' ged to fend the like Summons

all che Neighbouriog Nacions, as far as that

place, where che Lake

Titicaca

ernpties it felf; all which, after che example of

Hatun Colla

and

Chucuytu

fubrr¡inced themfelves ;

Hi!Lavi, Chulti, Pumata

and

Cipita;

all whiolffm:rendred on the fame tenils, and

'With che farne formalities that che ochers did ;

thát chere is no need ro make

repeticion of the queíl:ions formerly derqanded, nor che anfwers thereunco.

' Having in this peaceable manoer fubjeéted chefe people, he disbánded

his

rnany _Souldiers as [erved.for a guard to füs Perfon, and as inany as becamé the

·dignity and hónour of his State; cogecher with füch

affiíl: herein wjch his own prefence

which being accounted a particular demon-

Rration of his favour to thofe princiP,al Provinces, proved afterwaréls of great ufe

and benefir, as we íhall hereafter make appear in the.fequel df this Hiíl:ory. And

what did farther oblige che

Curacarand

was bis perfohal refi–

tnent was to fectle and eíl:ablifh himfelf in rhe affefüon and good will of his

people ; having now by his own e~perience learned, thac the bell: expedient to

invite and allure íl:rangers to his fubjeél:ion was Love and Beneficence to his owd

Pceople: Por by theíe meaos the

Jnfiian.r

did every-where.exto11 che Excellentíes

cheir Prince, and proclait'il him

be a true child and off-[pring of the Sun. And

now whilíl: che
