[Endnote 79: (p. 78). _In the end._--It is evident, from Azurara's language, that the Azanegues made a better stand in this fight at Cape Branco, and came nearer to defeating the Portuguese than on any previous occasion. It was a sign of what was to follow, for the native resistance now began to show itself, and the very next European slave-raiders (Gonçallo de Sintra and his men) were roughly handled, and most of them killed (see ch. xxvii. of this Chronicle).] [Endnote 80: (p. 80). _Friar ... St. Vincent de Cabo._--This "firstfruit of the Saharan peoples, offered to the religious life," was appropriately sent to a monastery close to the "Infant's Town" at Sagres, and adjoining the promontory whereabouts centred the new European movement of African exploration.] [Endnote 81: (p. 81). _Sons of Adam._--Azurara's position here is, of course, just that of the scholastics: As men, these slaves were to be pitied and well treated, nay, should be at once made free; as heathen, they were enslaveable; and being, as Barros says, outside the law of Christ Jesus, and absolutely lost as regards the more important part of their nature, the soul, were abandoned to the discretion of any Christian people who might conquer them, as far as their lower parts, or bodies, were concerned.] [Endnote 82: (p. 84). _As saith the text._--Cf. Virgil, _Æneid_, i, 630 (Dido to Æneas), _Haud ignara mali miseris succurrere disco_. There is no text in the Jewish or Christian Scriptures which can be said to answer properly to Azurara's reference in this place. We may, however, cf. Judges xi, 38; Revelation i, 9.] [Endnote 83: (p. 87). _Tully saith._--Cf. Cicero, _De Nat. Deorum_, i, 20, 55; _De Or._, iii, 57, 215, 48, 159.] [Endnote 84: (p. 87). _Ancient sages ... others._--Cf. Livy, v, 51, 46, 6. On the disaster of Gonçalo de Sintra, Santarem remarks:--[This event happened in 1445. The place where De Sintra perished is fourteen leagues S. of the Rio do Ouro, and in maps, both manuscript and engraved, from the close of the fifteenth century, it took the name _Golfo de Gonçallo de Cintra_]. The reference in the concluding words of this chapter, _as had been commanded, etc._, is to the passage on p. 87 of this version, towards the foot: "That he should go straight to Guinea, and for nothing whatever should fail of this:" an order which De Sintra treated with entire contempt.] [Endnote 85: (p. 92). _First purpose_, viz., to write the chronicle of the "Guinea Voyages," not to discuss philosophic problems. The reference here to the "wheels [or circles] of heaven or destiny" recalls the astrological passages on pp. 29, 30, 80, etc. Azurara's reference to Job is to ch. xiv, verse 5.]
