fetiing forward on our route for Tczcuco, after we were joined by the 

 people who came on board the vefleL Amongft thefe were one Juan 

 del Efpinar, afterwards a very rich man, one Sagredo uncle to the wo- 

 man called LaSagreda, in the Ifland of Cuba, and a Bifcayan named Mon- 

 jaraz, uncle to two of that name who were foldiers with us, and father 

 to the handfome woman who afterwards came to Mexico called La 

 Monjaraza. This man never was in any expedition or engagement with 

 us, always pretending to be fick, though he miffed no opportunity of 

 boafting of his valour. When we befieged Mexico, he faid he would 

 fee how the natives fought, for he had no opinion of their bravery. 

 He accordingly went to the top of a very high temple like a turret, and 

 no one ever could tell how it was, but certain Indians killed him on 

 that very day. Thofe who had known him in the Illand of St. Do- 

 mingo faid, that it was God's judgment on him for having had his wife, 

 a good, honourable, and beautiful woman, put to death, by the perjury 

 of falfe witneffes.
