AD. THE ENGLISH VOYAGES 



1572-87. 



God the righteous judge seeing this villanous act, suffered 

 none of those Spaniards to dye by the course of nature, 

 but brought them to evill and shamefull ends. 



Upon the newes of these great riches there came store 

 of people out of Spaine, and inhabited many places in 

 this countrey. The king in recompence of the good 

 services of the two foresayd partners, appoynted Diego 

 de Almagro governour of halfe the land, and Francisco 

 Pizarro of the other halfe, whom also hee made a 

 Marques. But these two consorts in parting of a land 

 belonging unto other m.en, fell at variance and sharpe 

 warre betweene themselves : and at length Pizarro hav- 

 ing slaine Almagro got all the land into his owne hands. 

 Howbeit this prosperitie of Pizarro continued not long : 

 for a bastard-sonne of Diego de Almagro, to bee re- 

 venged of his fathers death, slew Pizarro, for which 

 acte he lost his head. In this controversie betweene 

 these two partners were slaine also two brothers of 

 Pizarro, and the third was carried prisoner into Spaine 

 and there dyed in prison ; but the fourth called Gonsalvo 

 Pizarro rebelled with the whole countrey and became a 

 cruell tyrant, vanquishing many of the Emperours Cap- 

 taines in battell, and possessing the countrey in peace 

 for two yeeres : howbeit being in the ende overcome 

 hee lost his head like a traitour. And thus dyed they 

 all an evill death that were causes of the death of that 

 innocent king Atabalipa. And yet there are mutinies 

 raised oftentimes by the Spaniards, but the Indians 

 never rebelled, after they had once peace granted unto 

 them. The Indian people of this land are parted among 

 the Spaniards, some being slaves unto the gentlemen 

 that conquered their land, other some to others, and 

 the residue to the king : and these Indians pay eche 

 man for his tribute seven pezos of fine golde, which is 

 about tenne ducats and a halfe. There are in this 

 'Nine bishop- countrey above fortie cities and townes inhabited by 

 archb'uhoprick ^^ Spaniards : also they have here erected nine bishop- 

 in Peru. ricks and one archbishopricke.
