'Tis observable, that they entred upon these Dominions and laid waste the _Indian_ Territories, so populous, that it would have rejoyced the hearts of all true Christians to see their number upon no other title or pretense, but only to enslave them; for at their first arrival they compel'd them to swear the Oath of Obedience and Fealty to the King of _Spain_, and if they did not condescend to it, they menace them with death and Vassalage, and they who did not forthwith appear to satisfie the unequitable Mandates, and submit to the will and pleasure of such unjust and Cruel Men were declared Rebels, and accu's of that Crime before our Lord the King; and blindess or ignorance of those who were set over the _Indians_ as Rulers did so darken their understanding that they did not apprehend that known and incontrovertible Maxim in Law, _That no Man can be called a Rebel, who is not first proved to be a subject_. I omit the injuries and prejudice they do to the King himself, when they spoil and ravage his Kingdoms, and as much as in them lies, diminish and impair all his Right and Title to the _Indians_, nay in plain English invalidate and make it null and void. And these are the worthy Services which the Spaniards do for our Kings in those Countries, by the injust and colourable pretences aforesaid. This Tyrant upon the same pretext sent two other Captains, who exceeded him in impiety and cruelty, if possible to the most flourishing and Feril (in Fruits and Men) Kingdoms of _Guatemala_, Situate toward the South, who had also received Orders to go to the Kingdoms of _Naco, Hondera_, and _Guaymura_, verging upon the North, and are Borderers on _Mexico_ three hundred miles together. The one was sent by Land and the other by Sea, and both well furnished with Horse and Foot. This I declare for a Truth, that the outrages committed by these two, particularly by him that went to _Guatimala_ (for the other not long after his departure died a violent Death) would afford matter sufficient for an entire Volume, and when completed he so crouded with slaughters, injuries, butcheries and inhuman Desolations, so horrid and detestable as would Ague-shake the present as well as future ages with terror.
