BooK IV. ting Bulls,. chrowing c~e Dart, and Lotter!es; in whic~ lat~er m~hy drew· in~e­ nious Motéoes, or Say1qgs, and others. fcumlous Sentences, hke L1bels, of wh1ch though I rernember feveral, yet 1 think it no.t cdnvenient to repeat any of them in this place. . Upon che day of chis,folemn rejoycing, orders were given to fet thofe Gentle- men ac libercy who were the Citizens of Couo, commicced to Prifon by C4rv4j4l, as we mentioned be(ore. Moreover he granted a general Pardon to thofe who were noc as y et come i n, onely Licenciado Carvaj11/ was excepted, becaufe he ha- 'ving been his imima.ce Friend, had deferted him, and alfo Garfilajfo de la Vega, as Diego Fer11a11 dn Palenti¡ io reporcs in Chap. 27ch of his firft 13ook, as alfo,A11guftine de Carate, but we muíl: cake leave to contradiél: thefe Auchoúrs, who have failt.'d in tl1is parricular paffage, of which we are able co give a more certain relarion. Gonfalo Pifarro gave ef pecial arder thar no man íhould go out of che City withouc his licenfe; which Rodrigo Nunnez:. and Pedro de Prado demanding they were boch puc to death, becaufe ~hey gave evil example, and 'feemed ro puc jealoufies and fears into che minds of che people: and in this rnanner, \Ne fee, rhar chere was no joy wichouc a mixmre of forrow, nor ílaughters, nor effufton of bloud wi'thour rejoycings; whi~h in Civil Wars take cheir turns and changes. Bue co come qo che parriculars of )Nhac happened ar rhac rime in the City of Los Reyes; we are co cake norice, how chac ac chac time Francifco de Carvajal feifed ali che Cicizens of Couo who had deferted his caufe, excepting onely Garfilajfo de la Vega, who efc.aped by a mere accidem, as che Hiflorians relace: For chac very nighc when Carvajal knocked ac che door ro come in and cake him, a certain Soul- dier wenc forth to open che door, whofe name was Hernando Perez:. Ta6/ero, a Na- tive of che Town of AlmendrM in the Dukedom of Feria, Fofter-brother with Don A!onfo de PargM my Uncle by che Facher's ftde. This Herna11do Pmz:., "ho as well for being of che fame Countrey, being ali of E/lremcnnos, as alfo on fcore of Re- lation, for boch he and his Facher and Grandfather had been Servanrs unto mine, apd he ac rhat time aél:ually in fervice of Garfi/afo d~ la Viga, my Lord and Facher; kno~ving Fr1ncifco Carvajal by his vo~ce, wichQuc i:naking any anfiver rerurn~d im- mediately te;> my,Facher, and told h1m t~ac Carva1al was ar che Gare knockmg ro · come in: whereupon my Farher made h1s efcape out of che Houfe as well as he could, and fled to che Convenc of Sr. Domingo, where che Friars received and concealed him in a linJe privare place, where he remained far {he fpace of four momhs. . Carvajal h:iving fome intelligence rhar he was abfconded in che Monaílery, and the racher fufpeél:ing ir, becauíe it was .near to his Houfe, took fome Souldíers with him, and fearched every privare place and comer, thar no place feerned tó be undifcovered, unlefs che whole Houíe had been thrown clown; and herein they uíed ali che diligence imaginable, for Gonfalo Pi farro conceived ali tht malice and defpight againíl: him that was poílible, and therefore endeavoured to rake him and puc him to death : f0r he often complained of him, and faid, thac they ha e nComrades together in the conqueíl of 'Collao and che Charoiu, had earen ar che fame Table, and ílept in che fame Ch11mber rogether, and by reafon of fuch .oblig:itions he fhould never have deíerred and denied his caufe, much lefs have been che Head of a Faél:ion againíl: him, and a meaos to perfuade orhers to forfake his Party. Moreover Carvajal made four other fearches after Garfilaffo, and ar one rime he lifted up che hanging on che fide of che High Airar, where was a nick or comer where chey lodged che moll Holy Sacrament, and there was a poor Souldier h.id and crouched up in a dark hole; bue Carvajal perceiving chat it was not che per~ · fon for whom he fought, lec dowµ th~. Hanging again, crying aloud, che perfon is not here for whom we íeek. A whrle after carne another of his Souldiers, cal- led PorrM, who being defüous to f.hew himfelf more diligem and officious chao ordin~ry, lifced up th~ Hangiug of che High Altar, and rhere difcovered che poor Sould1er whom Carva;al had purpofely over-feen: bue Po1·w, fo fOoq as he efpied .him, cried out, here is che Traitour, here is che Traitour. Carvajal was troubled thac he was found our, but in regard he was a principal Leader of che Faél:ion againft Pifarro, he could noc do lefS than take nocice of him; and fo drawing him forth fro¡n his retirement, caufe~ bim to be confeffed by che 'Friais' of che ·Con- vent, and then hanged,hjm up 1 bue PorrM did noc efcape tbe vengeance of Hea- ".en for this Fa~, as we !hall undetltaud by the fequel.
