lowed in
the same Footsteps; every one sending as many of his Servants as he
could spare, to share in the spoil. Nay he that came hither as Biship
first of all did the same also, And at the vory time (as I conjecture)
the _Spaniards_ did depraedate or rob this Kingdom of above Ten Hundred
Thousand Crowns of Gold: Yet all these their Thefts and Felonies, we
scarce find upon Record that Three Hundred Thousand _Castilian_ Crowns
ever came into the _Spanish_ King's Coffers; yet there were above Eight
Hundred Thousand Men slain: The other Tyrants who governed this Kingdom
afterward to the Three and Thirtieth year, depriv'd all of them of Life
that remain'd among the Inhabitants.

Among all those flagitious Acts committed by this Governour while he
rul'd this Kindom, or by his Consent and Permission this must by no
means be omitted: A certain _Casic_, bestowing on him a Gift,
voluntarily, or (which is more probably) induced thereunto by Fear,
about the weight of Nine Thousand Crowns, but the _Spaniards_ not
satisfied with so fast a Sum of Money, sieze him, fix him to a Pole;
extended his Feet, which being mov'd near the Fire, they demanded a
larger Sum; the _Casic_ overcome with Torments, sending home, procur'd
Three Thousand more to be brought and presented to them: But the
_Spaniards_, adding new Torments to new Rage and Fury, when they found
he would confer no more upon them, which was because he could not, or
otherwize because he would not, they expos'd him for so long to that
Torture, till by degrees of heat the Marrow gusht out of the Soles of
his Feet, and so he dyed; Thus they often murder'd the Lords and Nobles
which such Torments to Extort the Gold from them.

One time it hapned that a Century or Party of One Hundred _Spaniards_
making Excursions, came to a Mountain, where many People shunning so
horrid and pernicious an Enemy conceal'd themselves, who immediately
rushing on them, putting all to the Sword they could meet with, and
then secur'd Seventy or Eighty Married Women as well as Virgins
Captives; but a great Number of _Indians_ with a fervent desire of
recovering their Wives and Daughters appear'd in Arms against the
_Spaniards_, and when they drew near the Enemy, they unwilling to lose
the Prey, run the Wives and Maidens through with their Swords. The
_Indians_ through Grief and Trouble, smiting their Breasts, brake out
into these Exclamations. O perverse Generation of Men! O Cruel
_Spaniards_! What do
