R.oy ~l Commentarie1. BobK 11. " Almagro when he faw Piet'l't"ri declared, that he was greatly rejoiced to (ee " him, diough he could not but much complain of che Severity an'd hardnefs of " che Sencence. When he went in Company of-his twelve Friends, to meer Pí- " .farro, he recommended unto Rodrigo Orgbnnv1 his General to be near at hand " wirh his Army in a readinefs, jo ca(e Pifarro íhould attempt any rhing contra- " ry ro Agreement, and that he íhould be Cure ro kili Hernando Pifrmo, whom he " had Jefe purpo(ely in bis Power, in ca(e he íhould make any Refütence. Pi- " farro carne to che place appointed wirh bis twelve Companions, and il) the " Arrere was all his Camp, with Gonulo Pifarro; but whether this was done " by the appointment of che Marquis, is doubtfull: Howfoever it is moíl: cer- " tain, that Gon:t'alo poíl:ed himfelf near to M alla, and commanded Captain Ntm- " ne:t de Caftro to place an Ambufcade of forty Mufquetiers in the Woods, by " which Almagro was ro país. It happened rhat Pi farro carne firíl: to M11.!!a, " where meeting afterwards with Almagro, rhey embraced with great Joy, and " began to di(cour(e of indifferent marcers; bue before they had emred upon " bufinefs, one carne hafüly, and told Almagro, in hearing of che Company, rhac " he íhould fpeedily be gone, for thar he remained there in danger of his Life; " whereupon wirhout delay he mounced on Horfeback, and without fpeaking " one Word more, or Treaty of Bufinefs, he rerurned: When he di frovered " the Ambu(cade, he could nor bue believe his Eyes, and made grievous Corn- ee plaints of Pirarro, and of the Friars, and of ali thar Parry, terming them as fo " many I'ilaw for che Injuíl:ice of rheir Senrence. Though Pi farro was perCua- ' " ded to have feizeJ him, he refufed fo ro doe, faying, Thar he had corn- ee mitted himfelf to him under his Parole of Honour, and difowned to have " given Order to bis Brocher to lay. chat Ambu(h, or to have fuborned che " Friars. And herewith Comara concludes chis Chapter; and fo much Carate confirms of chis Jnrerview, which proved to lirtle benefit, and ferved to increafe che Harred and Indignation of borh Parties; howfoever in fine, a true Underl1anding was made of this matter becween Almagro and Pifarro, withouc any Prejudice or P:if- fion, and ali rhings were fo well pacified ana accommodared by the Endeavours of Diego de A/varado, thac Hernando Pirarro was fet ac Libeny: And it was far- cher agreed, That for fending Wr.itings and Informations into Spain ahour che whole Marrer, che Marquis íhould grant unto Almagro che freedom of a Porr, and che convenie11ce of' a Ship, far carrying his Di~)a rches, becaufe he had nei- ther one nor orher within his Jorifdiétion; and in che mean time, rhat neirher Ítde íhould enterprife, or attempt any rhing againft che other, u'nrill new Orders and Commands were come from the Emperour. So A lmaf..ro , upon Bai1, and Securiry given him by A/varado, gave Hernatylo Pifarro his Liberty, though much againíl: che Will and Advice of Orgonno1, who, b~ing well acquainred wirh rhe malitious and angry humour of R emando. Pi~arro, very much perfuaded the con- U'a!·y; and indeed when Almagro himfelfconttdered his Errour, he: would have de- rained him, bue it was then too late; for ic was commonly difcom(ed, thac chis rurbulem Man would cau(e new Commorions, and indeed rhey were much in the righc ; for no fooner was he fec ac Liberry bue a Breach enfued. Nor was Pifarro himfelf very fair, or clear in che performance of his Agreement ; for when a new Patem was come from che Emperour, wherein, by a cercain Claufe, ir was required, thac boch P.arties fhould remain in poffeffion of whac rhey were already feized, and though one had gocren and inrruded himfelf inro che Lands of che ocher; yec nocwirhftanding for quiemefs fake, chac matcers fhould coritinue in che fa me Poíl:ure. Howfoever Pi~arro having his Brother about him, and his chiefCounfellour, required Almagro, in virme of chis new Pacem ro quic the Countrey, which he him(elf had ¡}eopled and difcovered. Almag:o having read and confidered chat Claufe, anfwered, That he was ready ro obey che Em- perour's Comman<l, and Royal Signarure, according unto whicb, he was to keep Poffeffion of Co<-eo, and of other places, whereof be was now the Maíl:er, and according thereunto he defired thac he mighc receive no farcher Diílurbance and Moleíl:acion in his Enjoyment.
