_That it was two years and a halfe, since that he going from the Port_ Honda _in the_ West-Indies, _to the_ Papian _jurisdiction, he conducted some Mules of a certaine_ Indian, _whose name was_ Franciscus Castellanus, _into the Province of_ Quity, _and that there was one in company with him and other_ Indians, _whose name was_ Francis, _who was called by all_ Cazicus. _That it happened that as they went over the Mountaines_ Cordilleræ, _a great tempest arose, which threw the loaden Mules to the ground. The_ Indians _being afflicted by the sore tempest, every one began to count his losses; yet confessing that all that and more grievous punishments were but just, in regard of their many sins. But_ Francis _bad them take it patiently, for that they should shortly injoy rest: the others answered, that they were unworthy of it; yea that the notorious cruelty used by the_ Spaniards _towards them, was sent of God, because they had so ill treated his holy people, who wer of al others the most innocent: now then, they determined to stay all night upon the top of the Mountain. And_ Montezinus _tooke out of a Box some Bread, and Cheese, and Jonkets, and gave them to_ Francis, _upbraiding him, that he had spoken disgracefully of the_ Spaniards; _who answered, that he had not told one halfe of the miseries and calamities inflicted by a cruell, and inhumane people; but they should not goe unrevenged, looking for helpe from an unknown people_. _After this Conference_, Montezinus _went to_ Carthagenia, _a City of the_ Indians, _where he being examined, was put in Prison; and while he prayed to God, such words fell from him; Blessed be the name of the Lord, that hath not made me an Idolater, a_ Barbarian, _a_ Black-a-Moore, _or an_ Indian; _but as he named_ Indian, _he was angry with himselfe, and said, The_ Hebrewes _are_ Indians; _then he comming to himselfe againe; confessed that he doted, and added, Can the_ Hebrewes _be_ Indians? _which hee also repeated a second, and a third time; and he thought that it was not by chance that he had so much mistaken himselfe_. _He thinking farther, of what he had heard from the_ Indian, _and hoping that he should find out the whole truth; therefore as soon as he was let out of Prison, he sought out_ Franciscus _beleeving that hee would repeat to him againe what he had spoken; he therefore being set at liberty, through Gods mercy went to the Port_ Honda, _and according to his desire, found him, who said; He remembred all that he had spoken, when he was upon the Mountaine; whom_ Montezinus _asked, that he would take a journy with him, offering him all courtesies, giving him three peeces of Eight, that he might buy himselfe necessaries_.
