Honour them, and in compensation send Indians Male and Female into
servitude. The terrified People delivered up their Children, and by
this means there was an end made of this Sacrilegious Merchandize, and
thus the _Casic_ satisfied the greedy desires of the (I dare not say
Christian) _Spaniards_. One of these Sacrilegious Robbers was _John
Garcia_ by name, who being very sick and at the point of dath, had
several Idols hid under his Bed, and calling his _Indians_ that waited
on him, as a Nurse, commanded her not to part with those Idols at a
small rate for they were of the better sort, and that she should not
dispose of them without one _Indian_, for each Idol by way of Barter.
Thus by this his private and Nuncupative last Will and Testament
distracted with these carking cares, he gave up the Ghost: And who is
it that will not fear his being tormented in the darkest and lowest
Hell? Let us now consider what progress in Religion the _Spaniards_
made, and what examples of Christianism they gave, at their first
arrival in _America_, how devoutly they honoured God, and what expence

among the Infidels. Let it be also taken into serious consideration,
whose sin is the greater, either _Joroboam's_, who made all _Israel_ to
sin, and caused two Golden Calves to be erected, or the _Spaniards_ who

great scandals. These are the good Deeds of the Spanish _Dons_, who
often, nay very often to feed their Avarice, and accumulate Gold have
sold and still do sell, denied and still do deny Jesus Christ our
Redeemer.

The _Indians_ now findint the Promises of the Religious, that the
_Spaniards_ should not enter into this Countrey, null and void; nay
that the Spaniards brought Idols from other places to be put off there;
when as they had delivered up their own to the Priests to be burnt,
that there might be only Worship of the true God established among
them; they were highly incensed against these Friars, and addressed
themselves to them in these Words following: Why have you deceived us,
binding your promises with false protestations, that the Spaniards
shoudl not be admitted to come hither? And why have you burnt our
Gods, when others are brought from other Regions by the Spaniards? Are
the Gods of other Provinces more sacred than ours? The Friers as well
as they could (though they had little
