_Then five of the chiefe_ Indians (_whom they call_ Cazici) _who were my Ancestors, having understood the Prophesie of the Magicians, which they had learned of the Wise men of the_ Hebrewes, _went thither, and after much entreaty, obtained their desire, having first made knowne their minde to that woman, whom you saw to be for an Interpreter_, (_for your Brethren will have no commerce with our_ Indians) _and whosoever of ours doth enter the Country of your Brethren, they presently kill him; and none of your Brethren doe passe into our Country. Now by the help of that Woman we made this agreement with them._ 1 That our five _Cazici_ should come to them, and that alone at every seventy moneths end. 2 That he to whom secrets should be imparted, should be above the age of three hundred Moones, or Months. 3 And that such things should be discovered to none in any place where people are, but only in a Desart, and in the presence of the _Cazici_; and so (said the _Indian_) we keep that secret among our selves, because that we promise our selves great favour from them, for the good offices which we have done to our Brethren, it is not lawfull for us to visite them, unlesse at the seventy months end: Or if there happens any thing new, and this fell out but thrice in my time; First, when the _Spaniards_ came into this Land; also, when Ships came into the Southerne Sea; and thirdly, when you came, whom they long wished for, and expected. They did much rejoyce for those three new things, because that they said, the Prophesies were fulfilled. _And_ Montezinus _also said, that three other_ Cazici _were sent to him by_ Franciscus, _to_ Honda, _yet not telling their names, till he had said, you may speake to them freely, they are my fellowes in my Function of whom I have told you, the fifth could not come for age, but those three did heartily embrace him; and_ Montezinus _being asked of what Nation he was, he answered, an_ Hebrew, _of the Tribe of_ Levi, _and that God was his God, &c. which when they had heard, they embraced him againe, and said: Upon a time you shall see us, and shall not know us; We are all your Brethren, by Gods singular favour; and againe, they both of them bidding farewell, departed, every one saying, I goe about my businesse; therefore none but_ Franciscus _being left, who saluting_ Montezinus _as a Brother, then bade him farewell, saying, farewell my Brother, I have other things to doe, and I goe to visite thy Brethren, with other_ Hebrew _Cazici. As for the Country, be secure, for we rule all the_ Indians; _after we have finished a businesse which we have with the wicked_ Spaniards, _we will bring you out of your bondage, by Gods help; not doubting, but he who cannot lye, will help us; according to his Word; endeavour you in the meane while that those men may come_.
