who irnrnediately from thence difpatched

Alonfo deAriafª ; Franrifco Arnao,
Pero Xuare~, Alonfo de Marquina, Francifco Chavei
the Moor, and
'fohn Pere~:
and
when he carne wichin a league and a halfof the place, he caufed
Francifco de Arnaif–
to be execuced, and cut_into four quarcers; and as he entred into che Town,
Alonfo de M arquin11
was by his order drawn and quárcered. And che fame nighc
he encred into che Mona!lery of
tbeMerceds,
and frorn thence drew out
Pedro del
Cotro,
and caufed him co be hanged, though upon his repenrance; for having had
a hand in the death of che General, he had adrnicted hirnfelf in che Convent and
turned Friar. Thus far

chac is, chac he mighc kill and deílroy ali fuch as
had been privy
to
bis plots and deGgns; which he accordingly did, and baniíhed
many inco pares far remoce from che Cicy of
Piare,
narnely four, five and Gx hun–
dred leagues from thence: he caufed alfo
Garci Tello de Pega-to
be quartered, wh9
was one of
Don Sebaftiar/s
Capcains, and had been commiffionated chereunto by
Bafeo Godine,:;,
himfelf: he alfo condemhed anocher Souldier called
l)iego Pere,:;,
to
be difabled in both his Feet, and afterwards to ferve in the Galleys; for a Galley–
flave hath not much afe of his Feet: thus did chey contrive and medicare new
-ways of cruelty. Then he difpatched
Baliafar Pel1fVJHe~,
with another Souldier
of note called
Pedro del Cajli/lo,
to go to
Lima,
there to publiíh and excoll the greac
fervices which
Bafeo Godinn
and they had done: which are the words of
Palentin@,
who therewich concludes that Chapter.
Though
Baltafar Pelat.que,:;,,
by being abfent in the
Charcat,
efcaped che puni{h.
ment which
Alonfo de A/varado
had defigned for him, yet he cou]a not avoid a
more fevere judgmenc which Heaven had prepared to _bring him to his end. The
news·of the Infurreél:ion of
Don Sebaftian de Cajlillia
ran like lightning through the
whole Kingdom:
to
the great crouble and coníl:ernation of thofe who had Eíbtes
in rhe <;::ouotrey, for che[e were chey who were likely to fuffer by ali wars and
.confuGons which arife : for not onely being Lords of Manors holding many
Indi–
Ans
in vaífalage they were upon ali occafions'of this nacure puc to a vaíl: expence;
but likewi[e tney held their lives by a hair or thread, being ever in danger of be–
ing killed in thofe rebellious cumults by the Souldiers, who gaped and longed ·af–
rer che eojoyment of cheir poífeílions. So foon as chis news carne to the Ciry of
Couo,
chey put themfelves into a pofiure of defence againíl: the enemy ; and by
confent of rhe Corpor~tion, chey eleéted
Diego Maldonado,
furnarned the Rich, to
be cheir General, having formerly been the rnoíl: ancienc Governour of any
in
thac
City.

and
'fohn 'fulio de I-lojeda, ThomM P¡p;,que~,

Antonio de fl.t!innones,
and another
Cicizen,
who[e
narne I have forgot, were made Capcains of Foot: who prefent–

John 'fu!io de

which put an end to
