and are more civilized than the other Savages their 
Neighbours, who go dark naked, are fo much more 
refined in their Complexions by this Ufage, as to 
be taken for Spaniards , and not Indians (d). Nay, 
the Spaniards themfelves, who have inhabited 
America under the Torrid Zone, for any Time, 
are become as dark coloured as our native Indians 
of Virginia, as I have been an Eye-witnefs: And 
were they not to intermarry with the Europeans , 
but lead the fame rude and barbarous Lives with 
the Indians , it is very probable, that, in a Suc- 
ceflion of many Generations, they would become 
as dark in Complexion.
