He strengthens this opinion, that in the Isle St. _Michael_, which belongs to the _Azores_, the _Spaniards_ found Sepulchres under ground, with very ancient Hebrew letters, which _Genebrardus_ hath Printed, _in lib._ _1. chro._ _p._ 159. From whence we gather, that in that inscription there is a mistake of the letter (T.) so that the sense of it is, _How perfect is God. Sehalbin is dead. Know God._ Unlesse you will have them to be proper Names, and to signifie him that is dead, and his Father, in which sense for (M) you must read (B) and then the sense will be, _Meetabel seal, the Son of Matadel_; such names ending in (el) are common in Scripture, as _Raphael_, _Immanuel_, and the like. Let it suffice him who is pleased with neither of those conjectures, that _Hebrew_ Letters were found there. And though that Island is remote from the _West-Indies_, yet it might be by accident that they might put in thither. _SECT. 5._ That seemes to be to the purpose which _Garcillassos de la Voga_ saith in his Comment. on _Peru_, _lib._ 3. _c._ 1. _That in_ Tiahuanacu _a Province of_ Collai, _among other Antiquities, this is worthy of memory_, (_being scituated at the Lake which the_ Spaniards _call Chutuytu_) _That among the great buildings which are there, one was to be seene of a very great pile, which hath a Court 15. fathoms broad; a wall that compasseth it, 2 furlongs high; on one side of the Court is a Chamber 45 foot long, and 22 broad; and the Court, the Wall, the Pavement, the Chamber, the Roofe of it, the entrance, the posts of the 2 gates of the Chamber, and of the entrance, are made only of one stone; the three sides of the Wall are an ell thick; the_ Indians say, _that that House is dedicated to the Maker of the World_. I conjecture that building to be a Synagogue, built by the _Israelites_; for the Authors who writ about the _Indies_, tell us, that the _Indians_ never use Iron, or Iron weapons. Also the _Indians_ were Idolaters, and therefore it could not be that they should build an house to God. _P. Acosta in lib._ 6. _Ind. histor._ _c._ 14. mentions such buildings as are in that place; and he reports that he measured a stone which was 38. foot long, 18 foot broad, and sixe foot thick. _Petrus Cieza_ in his first part of his Chronicles of _Peru_, _c._ 87. relates, That in the City _Guamanga_, which is scituated by the river _Vinaque_, there is a vast building, which because then it seemed almost ruined by time, it therefore had lasted many yeares. He asking the neighbouring _Indians_, Who built that great Pile? He learnt, that it was made by a people (who were bearded, and white as the _Spaniards_) who came thither a long time before (and staid some time after) the _Indians_ raigned there; and the _Indians_ said, that they had received it from their Fathers by Tradition. The same _Cieza_, _cap._ 10. 5. of the Antiquity of _Tiguanac_, saith, that
