And here ·ic
is
obfervable, chac boch Governours challenged the City of
Co~–
co
for his own , and boch agreed chac che Limics of cheir
n,f
peél:ive Govern–
rnems íhould be begun- and ·be efrabliíhed from che ChaneIs withouc, one td
the Souchward, and che óther Norchward; che choice of which being abfo–
lucely granted
to
Almagro ,
be refüfed to accept either ; for feeing himfelf now
in poffeffion of, che Cicy, and chac his Competicour had condefcended
to
all
bis Conditions , he believed chac fuch Cornpliance proceeded from a fear of
loófing all bis G,overnmenc; wherefore lince Fortune had wich difplayed wings
owned his Caufe, he was refolved to puíh it forward, and cry if~he could
be–
C@me fol€ Monarch of all chat Empire.

.. Thus
Almagro
being puffed up wich Ambition, and moved with Covetouf–
nefs : which are cwo unfatiable Affeél:ions of che Mind, he would yield to no
,Agreemem_wich che Marquis, and
Efpin.,ofa
dying·amidíl: che heat of thefe De–
bates, nothing was concluded , nor the Benefit of that Peac:e and happy Ac–
commodacion' produced, as might have been expeél:ed from ·the Prudence;
J
udgment, and moderation of chat worchy Perfon , who, before bis Death;
prefaged che R!uine an.d Deílruél:ion of both che Govemoars. And now
Al-.
magro,
to
refüfie to che World char he had not yielded to the Propofitions
of
iJ:ie ¡'vfarqui~, he rnarnhecl out of
