 refolving to take Almagro from him by force, bolides that ( P;^rro's Soldiers grum-

 wherefore to compofe thefe Troubles as well as poflibly he could, he banifli'd all

 acknowledging him for his Son, put him out to Nurfc, and when he was grown

 fus de Ojeda, 'Balboa, and fedro dcAVtta in their Expeditions, he quickly grew rich, 

 and at laft came to that heighth of Honor and Command we have heard. Francifo

 who defpis'd all Dangers and Hardships, was fo well experiene'd in Martial Af-

 rather with a Sea-man or common Soldier, than a phantaftick Gallant : He vifued 

 the meancft Citizens, and many times us'd to eat with poor People, to whom he 

 was upon all occafions very noble and liberal . All his Defigns he carried on by 

 the (trength of meer natural Parts : for he was fo very illiterate, that he could nei- 

 ther Write nor Read . his Edifts were Sign'd with his two Marks, betwixt which 

 his Secretary writ Francifco fizjrro • he is faid to have had a Son which died young 

 by Attabalibas Sifter, who came afterwards to be call'd Donna Angelina ; he died in 

 a very unfortunate time, for upon his good fuccefs the Spanip* Power had grounded
