roasted before his Face. They butcher'd the Men for their Feet and
Hands only; for these Members were accounted by them Dainties, most
delicious Food.

He as the Death of many by the intolerable Labour of Carrying Ships by
Land, causing them to Transport those Vessels with Anchors of a vast
weight from the _Septentrional_ to the _Mediterranean_ Sea, which are
One Hundred and Thirty Miles distant; as also abundance of great Guns
of the largest fort, which they carried on their bare, naked shoulders,
so that opprest with many great and ponderous Burthens, (I say no more
than what I saw) they dyed by the way: He separated and divided
Families, forcing Married Men from their Wives, and Maids from their
Parents, which he bestow'd upon his Marriners and Soldiers, to gratifie
their burning Lust. All his Ships he freighted with _Indians_, where
Hunger and Thirst discharg'd them of their Servitude and his Cruelty by
a welcome Death. He had two Companies of Soldiers who hackt and tore
them in pieces, like Thunder from Heaven speedily. O how many Parents
has he robb'd of their Children, how many Wives of their Husbands, and
Children of their Parents? How many Adulteries, Rapes, and what
Libidinous Acts hath he been guilty of? How many hath he enslav'd and
opprest with insufferable Anguish and unspeakable Calamities? How many
Tears, Sighs and Groans hath he occasion'd? To how many has he bin the
Author of Desolation, during their Peregrination in this, and of
Damnation in the World to come, not only to _Indians_, whose Number is
numberless, but even to _Spaniards_ themselves, by whose help and
assistance he committed such detestable Butcheries and flagitious
Crimes? I supplicate Almighty God, that he would please to have Mercy
on his Soul, and require no other satisfaction than the violent Death,
which turn'd him out of this World.

_A farther Discourse of_ New Spain: _And some Account of_ Panuco
_and_ Xalisco.

After the perpetration of all the Cruelties rehearsed in _New Spain_
and other places, there came another Rabid and Cruel Tyrant to
_Panuco_, who acted the part of a bloody Tragedian as well as the rest,
and sent away many Ships loaden with these _Barbarians_ to be sold for
Slaves, made this Province almost a Wilderness, and which was
deplorable, Eight Hundred _Indians_, that had Rational Souls were given
in Exchange for a Burthen-bearing
