to

Buftincia's
Qqarters in che nighr, and cake him, if it were poffible, by
whom rhey mighc be certainly informed of che condition and íl:ate of che Enemy.

fo
well managed his bufinefs, that though he was inferiour in namber
to
Pedro Buftincia,
yec he
fo
furprifed hii;n in the nighc, that he took him prifoner:
to
which aél:ion twelve of
Centeno's
Souldiérs comribuced very much ; for though
chey promifed to joyn wich
Pifarro
yec their hearrs failed chem ,,,-hen chey came t-o
fighc in his caufe, for they being pleafed wich any
ill
fuccefs which could befall
him, made no refiftance;
fo
that
Lope
Marrin
took
Bujlincia,
and ali his men, of
which they killed three; one of which being of
Fifarro's
Souldiers
to
fhew him- '
felf more brave than che reft, dyed in che confliét, though time was very l_inle or
no oppolition; the ocher two, who Were
Levantixes,
(
or people of the Ea11ern
Countries, called che
Lroa1J1)
availing themfelves much on their bravery, boaíl:ed
that they had killed ten men at che B:mel of
HHarina,
by which vain words they
brought death upon tberofelves; for it was believed chat chey were not men of
fuch galfantry, but fome of chofe who had been taken lately or wounded.
