Almagro
when he faw
Pifa'l'f'fi
declared, thac he was greatly rejoiced
to
fee
" him, diough he could noc bue much complain of che Severity and hardnefs of
" che Sentence. When he wenc in Company of-his cwelve Friends, to rneer
Pí–
"
.farro,
he recommended unto
RodrigoOrgbnno1
his General to be near ac hand
" wich his Army in a readinefs, jn cafe
Pifarro
íhould attempt any thing contra–
" ry
to
Agreement, and thac he íhould 0e fure ro kill
Hernando Pifrmo,
whorn he
" had Jefe purpofely in bis Power,
in
cafe he íhould make any llefütence.
Pi–
"
farro
carne
to
che place appointed wich his twelve Companions, and in che
" Arrere was all his Camp, with
Gonz.,alo
Pi
farro;
bue whether this was done
" by che app'ointment of che Marquis, is doubtfull: Howfoever it is moíl: cer–
" tain, that
Gon:t'ttlo
poíl:ed himfelf near to
Malla,
and commanded Captain
Ntm–
"
ne:,;, de Caftro
to
p.lace an Ambufcade of forcy Mufquetiers in the Woods, by
" which
Almagro
was
to
país.
It happened that
Pifarro
carne firíl: to
M alla,
" where meeting afterwards with
Almagro,
they e111braced with great Joy, and
" began to difcourfe of indifferent matters; bue before they had emred upon
«
bufinefs, one carne hafüly, and told
Almagro,
in hearing of che Cornpany, rhac
" be íhould fpeedily be gone, for that be remained there in danger of his Life;
«
whereupon without delay he mounted on Horfeback, and wirhout fpeaking
" one Word more, or Treaty of Bufinefs, he returned: When he di ícovered
" che Ambuícade, he could not bue believe his Eyes, and made grievous Com–
" plaints of
Pirarro,
and of the Friars, and of all that Party, cerming them as
fo
" many
I'ilate.r
for che Injufüce of cheir Semence. Though
Pirarro
was períua–
"' ded
to
have feizeJ him, he refufed fo
to
<loe, faying, Thac he had com–
«
mitted himfelf co him under his Parole of Honour, and difowned co have
:: gi~en Order to bis Brother to lay_ thac Ambu(h, or to have fuborned che
Fnars.
And herewich
Comara
concludes this Chapter; and
fo
much
Carate
confirms of
chis Interview, which proved to little benefit, and íerved to increafe che Harred
and Indignation of both Parcies; howfoever
in
fine, a true Underíl-anding was
made of chis matter becween
Almagro
and
Pifarro,
wichout any Prejudice or
Pif–
fion, and all chings were
fo \\
ell pacified ana accommodated by che Eodeavours
of
Diego de A/varado,
chac
Hernando Pirarro
was fet at Liberty: And ic was far–
cher agreed, That for fending Writings and Ioformacions ioto
Spain
ahout che
whole Matcer, che Marquis íhould grane unto
Abr,agro
the freedom of a Porr,
and che convenie11ce of a Ship, for carrying his Diíparches, becauíe he had nei–
cher one nor ocher within his Jurifdiél:ion; and in che mean rime, rhat neicher
fide íhould eorerpriíe, or arcempc any ching againft che ocher, u'nrill new Orders
and Commands were come from the Emperour. So
Almaf..ro,
upon Bail, and
Security given him by
A/varado,
gave
Herna,ylo Pifarro
bis Liberty, chough much
agJ iníl- che Will and Advice of
Orgonno1,
who, b~ing well acquainced wich che
malitious and angry humour of
Hernando. Pi~arro,
very much perfuaded che con–
tra!·y; and iodeed when
Almagro
himfelfconftdered his Errour, he: would have de–
cained him, bue ic was chen too late; for ir was commonly diícourfed, that chis
turbulenc Man would cauíe new Commocions, and indeed chey were much in
che righc ; for no fooner was he íet at Liberry bue a Breach eníued. Nor was
Pi farro
himfelf very fair, or clear in che performance of his Agreernenc ; for
when a new Patent was come from che Emperour, wherein, by a certain Claufe,
it was required, that both P.arties fhould remain in poífeflíon of what they
were already feized, and chough one had gotten and inrruded hirnfelf
into
che
Lands of che ocher; yet notwichftanding for quiecnefs fake, that matters íhould
continue in che fame Poíl:ure. Howfoever
Pi~arro
having his Brocher abouc him
and hischiefCounfellour, required
Almagro,
in virme of chis new P:uenc ro qui~
che Couotrey, which he himfelf had peopled and difcovered.
Almag:o
having
read and confidered chac Claufe, anfwered, That he was ready to obey che Em–
perour's Comman<l, and Royal Signature, according unto which, he was co keep
Poffeflíon of
Couo,
and of ocher places, whereof he was now che Maíl:er, and
according thereunco he defired that he might receive no farcher Diílurbance and
Moleíl:ation in his Enjoyment.
