And fo he rnarchetl along the Coaíl:, being 'flanked with his Can- non, carrying aboard the Boats belonging to the Ships, much m the annoyance of the Enerny, in ·cafe they fhould make an affau!t upon thern. He gave farther order aboard Ship, that fo foon as they íhould come to an Engagernenr; that they íhould prefently hang up Vela Nunnez. and the other Prifoners which they had ta- - ken. Pedro de Cafaos [eeing the refolurion of Pedro de Hin~ofa, carne out to meet him; with intention either to overcome or dye : and both Parties being come within Mufquet fhot each of other; ali the Clergy-men and Friars c:ame out of thé City carrying a Wood of Croffes befare therri, which ferved for Banners añd _ Colours, and being al! ciad in mourning with fadnefs in their coumenances, cryed out with loud '>:Oices to Heaven and to the People for Peace and Concord a- mongíl: them ; faying, Is it not a great íhame and pity, that you who are Chri- fiians, and are come to preach the Gofpel to Infidels, fhould irnbrue your hands . in the bloud of each orher, to the common ruine and calarnity of ali. Thefe words beingJ urtered with great out-cries and exclarnarions, put loth fides , to a fiand , and to look each on the other ; umH! the religious Troops interpofed be- rween both Partiés, and began to crear of a Truce, and to creare a tight under- . ftanding. Accordingly Hinojofa fent in his behalf Don Balthafar de Caft ilia, Son of Count de Gomera, and the People of Panama employed Don Pedro de Cabrera for their Agent, both Natives of Sevitte. It was pleaded in behalf of Hin-ojofa, c-hat {)O reafon could be given, why they íhould oppofe bis landing, or free admitcance into che City : for tha~ his meffage and bufinefs thither was to give fatisfaél:ion to the Inhabitants for the Tyrannies and Outrages which Bachicao had committed on thern, and to buy Cloths and Proviftons of them for their Money, and fopply themfelves with other neceffaries for theif Voyage. That they had receiv.ed füiét Cornmands and Orders from Gonfaló Piem·o, not to give them the leaíl: caufe of offence, nor to fight, unleís they were compelled thereunto ' And tbat fo foon as they had made their provilions, and re-fitced their Ships¡ they would fpeedily depart in queíl: of the Vice-king , and caufe ílim to embark for Spain , according tb the Sentence which the Judges had given concerning him: and thereby fm~ the Countries from thofe fears and rnoleíl:ations which he had caafed by rowling up and 9own in al! quarters. And in regaid he was n·oc in Panarna, they had no bufinefs which could detelti them long there , and therefóre they entreated chem aot to force .chem roan engagement with them; which according to the Com~ rnand Gf Piy_arro they wbu]d ávoid by all means poílible ; bue in cafe they were forced to fight, they would then doe their beíl: not to be overcome. On tbe otber fide it was alledged in behalf of the Governour Pedro de Cafaos; ·that bis entry·into their Countrey in chat hoíl:ile manner could not be juíl:ifie.d, though it were given for granted chat Gon~a!o Pit¡arro had a right to the Govern- rnenr. That Bachicao had given the fame promiíes, and made as fair pretences as he did, and yet fo foon as he had gotten poíleílion , he ihen committed ali thoíe fpoils and murrhers for which they pretend now to give fatisfafüon. The Com- ·rn~ílioners on both fides hearing thefe Allegations , and being defüous to make an accommodation, did agree that Hinojofa íhould be received aíhoar, and have free admittance ·and enterrainrnerlt in the Cicy for che fpace of ·thirry days , with a . guard of fifty Men for fecurity of his_perfon ~ that his Fleet, with the reíl: of his Souldiers íhould in che mean time fail to the Iíles of Pearls, and take with thern Ship-carpenrers, and cut fuch Timber as íhould be ufefull for repair of cheir Ve'f-: fels .; and that at the end .of thirty days they·íhould return to Peru. Thefe Arti-" eles being agreed unto by both Parcies; they were confirmed by Oath, and Hoíl:a- ges given. . . Pedro de Hinojofa accordlngly carne to che City with bis fifty Men; where he rook a houfe, and gave publick entertalnment to all comers and goers ; and his People fported and treated friendly and familiarly with ali the fohabitants, .llugu- ft ine de Carate, in che tbirty fecond Chápter of his fifth Book; faith; for what we have farther to add in chis matter is upon bis Authoricy; That three pays had fcarce paffed before all thofe Souldiers who had been raifed by the Captains, {ohn Gu>:.man and {ohn de Yllanez., revolted for che moíl: pare to Hinojofa ; according to who[e exarnple the idle and vagrant perfons of the ·City, who were not Mer- chants, and fuch as ·had no ernployment, liíl:ed themfelves Souldiers with Hinojo/a, _ intendíng fot Peru : fo that the Cáptains of the Vi,e-king findiog chemfolves for~ A ¡i aa a faken 7 2 9
