Rom N anafca the Inca tranílated Come Indians, who were IncM o[ rhat Nation, ro plant themfelves on the River Apurimac, becaufe tbat the Clirnate of that Region, from Coz,oo to Rimac, being very hot, agreed beíl: witb the Temperament or Coníl:imtion of the People of Nanafca, whofe Countrey was· in the fame de- gree of bear. with that of Apurim11c , whenas on the comrary, the People which were tranfplanted frorn the Defarc, which is a more cool and moderare Clirrlate, were fubjeét .to Difeafes and Calencures , and not able to_fupport rhe intolerable hears; for which reafon the IncM in the eíl:ablifhment of their Colonies, h:id al- ways a refpeét to the Coníl:itution of rhe People, that fo they might not pafs from one Extreme ·ro another, but that their new Habiration might correfpond in fome degree with the A.ir of their narive Soil. Tbis regard tbe Inca having al- · ways to bis Colonies, the People which he planted on tbe Banks of the River Apurimac, were extraéted frorn tbe hotter Climates; but rhere was no need of great numbers for this occafion, becaufe tbat moíl: of the Land on borh ftdes of that River is rocky and barren; onely there are fome pieces of good ground, which the i nca was defirous to have manured in the manner of Gardens, and places of Pleafure; becaufe rhat foil which borders on the River, produces moíl: excellent and rare Fruir. Matters being fettled in this ¡;>0flure, and every thing 'eíl:ablifhed in due order, relating co the Governmem of che new acquired Provinces, che Prince Rocca re- turned to Couo, where he was kindly received by bis Facher, and the whole Court, and being then to disband his forces, he difm.iifed the Cómmanders with fignal rnarks of füs f avour and Eíl:eem. And now the Inca, Capac Yupanqui, findinghimfelf to decay wi th Years, and to emer into a Region of Life, which required ea[e and repo(e, he refolved to puta full íl:op ro the enlargement of bis Conqueíl:s, and onely ípend the remainder of his Days in tbe Adipiniíl:ration of Juíl:ice, and perfonning matters tendmg to rhe Benefit and Advamage of his People. In this eafinefs feveral years paíled, du- ring which time che Inca performed tbe part ofa kind and indulgem Prince, and the People of loving and loyal Subjeéts, who with all readinefs and affeél:ion ap- plied .themfelves to tHe fervice of the I nca ; particularly in building the Temple of the Sun, and ereéting orher Edifices, wherein they fhewed gre.'.l t willingnefs and diligence, becaufe they were works recommended to them by che Inca ; rnore- over tbey of their own accord, wirhin the DiviÍlon of every Province, built other ' Houfes for the Convenien.ce and Divertifement of the Inca. In this Profperity and Eafe the Inca, Capac Ynpanqui, died, with rhe Charalt:er of a valiant and able Prince, and worthy of the Tirle Capac, which caufed him to be much lamented in the Court, and in ali pares of his Kingdom, with deep Refemments j he was afterwards embalmed, and interred in rhe Sepulchre of bis Fathers. He lefc for his Heir and Succeifour Rocca , his Eldeíl: Son which he had by Coya Mama Curi-yllpa, h.is Wife and Siíl:er ; he left 'alfo many 'orher Sons and Daughters, as well natural as legitimare , the precife number of which we cannot determine, though fome fay, tqat they were above Eighty, which is not much, for fome, of tbe[e l ncM have arrived tó a hundred, fome cwo hundred nay fome are confidemly reponed to have had rhree hundred Sorn; and Daugh: rers.
