goe any farther then that towne, and that if he would goe his way in
peace, hee should presently depart, and should not seeke to carrie him

Chap. XVIII. How the Indians rose against the Gouernour, and what ensued
thereupon.

The Gouernour seeing the determination, and furious answere of the
Cacique, went about to pacifie him with faire words: to which he gaue no
answere, but rather with much pride and disdaine, withdrew himselfe where
the Gouernor might not see him, nor speake with him. As a principall
