one of the remoteft Countreys in Peru. But GuainacaVa enamor'd of a Qujtoan 



Maid, (laid a considerable time in the City Quito, and kept a fplendid Wedding at 



the Marriage of his Bride, who bare unto him the famous Attabaliba, whom he lov'd 



beyond all his other Children, and a little before his death made him King of 



Quito. But Huafcar after Guainacava's Deceafe would not fuffer his Brother to live in 



the late conquer'd Kingdom of Quito, but gave him Battel in the Plain of Tome* AcruciBae- 



bamba, which lafted three days and three Nights, and after much Blood-died, Atta* ^S $ : 



baliba being defeated was taken Prifoner, and not long after making his Efcape by 



the help of an antient Woman (whileft Huafcar s Commanders and Soldiers re- 



joy c'd with Cups full of Q?ica for their gotten Victory) he made his Subjects in 



Quito believe, that he being transform'd into a Serpent, crept through a little Hole 



out of the Prifon ; and that he had a Promife from Heaven to obtain Conqueft 



over Huafcar ; which being believ'd, ftirr'd up all his Subjects to take up Arms, 



and valiantly to go and meet the Enemy, whom they not onely defeated, but 



took Huafcar Prifoner. 



Hufcar being deftroy'd by Attabaliba, and Attabaliba by Pi^arro, Mango Inga their 

 youngeft Brother took the Government upon him, made continual Sallies upon 

 the Spaniards from inacceflible Mountains, and at his Deceafe left the remaining
