According!y our fir.ft Governours proceeded by divers w11ys from the Defart of Huanacauti t() convocare the Pe()- ple, which being the fir.ft place, of which we had /&o.")fledge; that thej had hallaw'éd by their Feet, and ftQm whence they went to doe g()()d unto Men, we ha·ve de(erved!J (as is manife.ft ) ereéfed a Temple, wherein to adore and worfhip our Father the Sun, and remember this go()d and benefit he hath done unto th( World. Our Inca the Prince took.. hi! way nQrthward, and the Princefs to the .SQuthward, 111nd to a!l the Meñ an'd'Women which they met in the wiid thick!ts, and uncultivated plat:e.r; they declared, f() them, that .thdr Father the Sun hadfent them tb be Teachers and Benefaéfours to thofe Inhabitants, and to draw them frQm that rude andfavage·Life, and ro anotber method ef living, mQre agreeable tQ Reafon and Humane So~ cietj; . and in farther ,purfu_ance of the Command.s if their FPlther the Snn, rbey e ame to .g.i- ther them from thofe Mountains, and rnde plac-es, to m()re convenient' HabitatiQns, where they might live in Humane S()qiety, and tQ a/Jign them fuch food, as wa) apptQpriated f() Men, 11nd nQt to Bea.fts.
