Cruelty, and Hatred of the People in that of the 
Appii ; which may come from the Force of Blood, 
“ of Education, or Example. 
“ It is certain, no Government was ever eftabllfhed 
“ and continued by greater Examples of Virtue and 
“ Severity, nor gave ever any greater Teftimonies, than 
“ the Yncal^^ of an excellent Inftitution, by the Pro- 
greffes and Succeffes, both in the Propagation and 
Extent of Empire, in Force and Plenty, in Great- 
‘‘ nefs and Magnificence of all publick Works, as 
Temples, Palaces, Highways, Bridges, and in all 
Provifions neceffary to the common Eafe, Safety, and 
“ Utility of human Life : So as feveral of the Jefuits, 
“ and particularly Acojla., are either fo juft or lo pre- 
fuming, as to prefer the civil Conftitution of Mango 
“ Copac., before Lycurgus^ Numa., Solon., or any other 
“ Lawgivers, fo celebrated in the more known Parts 
“ of the World. 
“To every Colony was afiagned fjch a Compafs of 
“ Land, whereof one Part was appropriated to the 
“ Sun, a fecond to the Widows, Orphans, Poor, Old, 
“ or maimed, a third to the peculiar Maintenance of 
“ every Family according to their Number, and a 
“ fourth to the Tnca. In this Order the whole was til- 
“ led, and the Harveft or Produdf laid up in feveral 
“ Granaries, out of which it was diftributed by Offi- 
‘s cers to that Purpofe, according to the feveral Ufes 
“ for which ' it was defigned, and new Seed iffued out 
“ at the Seafon for the new Tillage, Every Decurion, 
“ befides the Office of a Cenfor and Judge, had that 
“ likewife of a Patron or Sollicitor, for Relief of the 
“ Neceifities or Wa,nts of thofe under his Charge. 
“ They were bound to give in to the publick Regifter, 
“ an Account of all that were born, and of all that 
“ died under their Charge. None were fuffered to 
“ leave the Colony or People he was born in without 
“ Leave, or to change the Habit commonly ufed in it 
“ (by fome Parts or Marks whereof thofe of each Pro- 
“ vince was diftinguifhed) ; none to marry out of it, any 
“ more than the Tnca*s, out of their own Blood, 
“ The Tnca that reigned was called Capa Tnca., 
“ which the Spaniards interpret Solo Sennor^ or Only 
“ Lord. He ever married the firft of his Female Kin- 
“ dred, either Sifter, Niece or Coufin, to preferve the 
“ Line the pureft they could. Once in two Years he 
“ affembled all the unmarried Tnca^^ Men above 
“ Twenty, and Women above Sixteen Years old, and 
“ there in publick married all fuch as he thought fit, 
by giving each of their Hands one to the other. 
“ The fame was done among the Vulgar by the Cu- 
“ raca of each People. Every Family at their Time of 
“ Meals, eat with their Doors open, fo that all might 
“ fee their Temperance and Order. By thefe and fuch 
“ other Laws and Inftitutions, Manga Copac firft fettled 
“ his Government or Kingdom in the Colonies of Cuz- 
“ CO., which were in Time multiplied into many others 
“ by the willing Confluence and Recourfe of many fe- 
verai People round about him, allured by the Divine 
“ Authority of his Orders, by the Sweetnefs and Cle- 
“ mency of his Reign, and by the Felicity of all that 
“ lived under it •, and indeed the whole Goverment of his 
Raceof the Tncah, was rather like that of a tender 
“ Father over his Children, or a juft, careful and well- 
natured Guardian over> Pupils, than of a Lord or 
Commander over Slaves or Subjects. By which they 
“ came to be fo honoured or adored, that it was like 
“ Sacrilege for any common Perfon fo much as to 
“ touch the Tnca without his Leave, which was given 
“ as a Grace to thofe who ferved him well, or to new 
“ Subjedts that fubmitted to him. After the Extent of 
“ his Kingdom into great Compafies of Territory 
round Cuzco., by voluntary Submiflion of the People, 
“ as to fome Evangelical rather than legal Dodlrines 
or Inftitutions, Mango Copac affembled all his Cu- 
“ raca*s, and told them that his Father the Sun had 
“ commanded him to extend his Inftitutions and Orders 
“ as far as he was able for the Good and Happinefs of 
Mankind ; and for that purpofe, with armed Troops 
“ to go to thofe remoter Parts that had not yet received 
“ them, and to reduce them to their Obfervance. That. 
“ the Sun had commanded him to hurt or offend none 
“ that would fubmit to him, and thereby accept of the 
“ Good and Happinefs that was offered him by fuch 
“ divine Bounty, but to diftrefs only fuch as refufed, 
“ without killing any that did not aflail them; and then 
“ to do it juftly in their own Defence. 
“ For this Defign he formed and affembled Troops 
“ of Men armed, with oftenfive, but chiefly with de- 
“ fenfive Weapons. He caft them into the Order of 
“ Decurions, in the fame Manner as he had done the 
“ Families, to every ten Men was one Officer, 
“ another to fifty, and another to one hundred, a fourth 
“ to five hundred, and a fifth to a thoufand. There 
“ was a fixth over five thoufand, and a feventh as a Ge- 
“ neral over ten thoufand, of which Number his firft 
“ Army was compofed. With this and other fuch Ar- 
“ mies he reduced many new Territories under his 
“ Empire, declaring to every People he approached, the 
“ fame Things he had done firft to thofe who came 
“ about him near the great Lake j and offering them 
“ the Benefit of the Arts he had taught, the Orders he 
“ had inftituted, the Protedlion he had given his Sub- 
“ Jeffs, and the Felicity they enjoyed under it. Thofe 
“ who fubmitted were received into the fame Rights 
“ and Enjoyments with the reft of his Subjefts. Thofe 
“ who refufed, were diftreffed and puffued by his For- 
“ ces, till they were neceffitated to accept of his Offers 
“ and Conditions. 
“ He ufed no offenfive Weapons againft any till they 
“ attacked them, and then defenfive only at firft, till 
“ the Danger and Slaughter of his Men grew otherwife 
“ unavoidable -, then he fuffered his Forces to fall upon 
“ them and kill without Mercy, and not to fpare even 
“ thofe that yielded themfelves after having fo long and 
“ obftinately refilted. Thofe who fubmitted after the 
“ firft Threats or Diftreffes, or bloodlefs Opppfition, he 
“ received quickly into Grace, fuffered them to touch 
“ his facred Perfon, made great and common Feafts 
“ for them and his own Soldiers together for feveral 
“ Days, and then incorporated them into the Body of 
“ his Empire, and gave to each of them Cloaths to 
“ wear, and Corn to fow. 
“ By thefe Ways and fuch heroic Virtues, and by the 
“ Length of his Reign, he fo far extended his Domi- 
“ nions as to divide them into four Provinces, over 
“ each whereof he appointed an Tnca to be a Viceroy, 
“ having many Sons grown fit to command, and in 
“ each of them eftablifhed three fupreme Councils s the 
“ firft of Juftice, the fecond of War, and the third of 
“ the Revenue, of each of which an Tnca was likewife 
“ Prefident ; which continued ever after. 
“ At die End of a long and adored Reign, Mango 
“ Copac fell into the laft Period of his Life ; upon the 
“ Approach whereof he called together all his Children 
“ and Grand-children, with his eldeft Son, to whom he 
“ left his Empire, and told them, that for his own 
“ Part, he was going to repofe himfelf with his Father 
“ the Sun, from whom he came ; that he advifed and 
“ charged them all to go on in the Paths of Reafon 
“ and Virtue which he had taught them, till they fol- 
“ lowed him the fame Journey ; that by this Courfe 
“ only they would prove themfelves to be true Sons of 
“ the Sun, and be as fuch honoured and efteemed, 
“ He gave the fame Charge jnore efpecially and more 
“ earneftly to the Tnca hisSucceffor, and commanded 
“ him to govern his People according to his Example, 
“ and the Precepts he had received from the Sun, and 
“ to do it always with Juftice, Mercy, Piety, Clemen- 
“ cy, and Care of the Poor ; and when he the 
“ Prince fhould go in Time to reft with his Father the 
“ Sun, that he Ihould give the fame Inftrudlions and 
“ Exhortations to his Succeffor. And this Form was 
“ accordingly ufed in all the Succeffions of the Race of 
“ the Tnca’s, which lafted 800 Years with the fame 
“ Order, and the greateft Felicity that could be of 
“ any State. 
“ I will fay Nothing of the Greatnefs, Magnificence, 
“ and Richnefs of their Buildings, Palaces, or Tem- 
“ pics,
