which
hath

leagues
,
and
towarde

and
the

From

The

entreth
in
a

This

is
al
full

And
before

In
all

coastes
from

saynt
Mary
vnto
cape
saint
Austin
groweth
muche
Brasill

little
other
thing
of

And

speake
of
that

is
towardes

I
say
that
from

cape
of

From
the
Trinitie
to
saynt
Iohn
be
two
hundereth
and
fortie
leagues
.
All
the
other
Ilandes
whiche
I
haue
named
,
be
in
the
middest
of
these
twoo
,
and
be
all
Cannibals
,
a
people
which
eateth

From

And
from
the
Cape
of
Higuei
to
the
cape
of
Tiburon
are
one
hundreth
and
eightie
leagues
,
and
that
is
the
length
of
this
Ilande
.
It
hath
in
breadth
from
the
Beata
to
porte
Roiall
ninetie
leagues
:
the
South
parte
of
it
standeth
in
.xix.

the
North

This
Iland
is
inhabited
with
Christians
.
There
is
gathered
in
it
much
gold
:
there
commeth
euery
yeare
from
this
Iland
to
Castile
,
400000.
Castellanos
&
more
,
euery
Castellano
is
worth
.vij.
shillings
of
our
money
of
England
.
It
is
a
countrie
of
much
fleshe
,
and
also
of
much
freshe
fishe
:
the
cattayle
do
multiply
much
,
bycause
there
is
no
kinde
of
vermine
that
do
hurt
them
.
In
al
this
Iland
the
Kine
and
Mares
do
bring
forth
yong
ones
,
once
euery
yeare
,
and
the
yong
Mares
and
Flure
de
Luces
.
When
they
be
in
season
they
turne
yellow
like
to
waxe
:
the
smell
of
it
is
so
much
&
so
sweete
,
that
it
smelleth
in
all
the
house
where
they
be
.
It
is
of
a
maruelous
goodly
sauour
although
that
the
tast
of
it
be
somwhat
egre
.
There
is
also
an
other
fruit
of
trees
which
is
called
Mameis
,
which
is
as
great
,
&
like
to
a
Doues
egge
,
of
a
tawny
colour
,
being
within
three
kernels
,
the
meate
of
it
is
like
to
a
Peach
,
somewhat
red
.
The
people
of
this
Ilande
were
Idolaters
&
naked
,
although
that
now
they
be
turned
Christians
.
The
women
do
weare
a
kind
of
apparel
,
which
they
call
there
Naguas
,
made
in
such
sorte
,
that
it
couereth
them
from
the
waste
to
the
knees
:
and
they
which
be
Virgines
,
go
naked
as
they
were
borne
:
&
when
any
woman
hath
loste
bi
r
Virginitie
,
immediately
she
doth
couer
hir self
,
and
if
she
haue
no
Naguas
,
she
putteth
before
hir
a
leafe
tied
on
with
threedes
made
of
Cotton
woll
,
wherwith
she
couereth
hir
Secretes
,
and
that
leafe
they
call
there
Pampanillia
.
and
when
any
of
these
women
are
with
childe
,
or
giue
sucke
to
any
childe
,
there
is
no
man
that
will
company
with
hir
for
any
thing
in
the
worlde
:
they
say
it
is
sinne
to
company
with
hir
at
that
time
.
And
when
any
woman
is
with
childe
,
hir
husband
taketh
an
other
vntill
his
wife
be
deliuered
of
hir
childe
,
and
as
long
as
she
giueth
sucke
:
and
when
any
man
dieth
that
is
of
estimation
,
they
did
make
a
greate
hole
in
the
ground
,
where
they
vsed
to
put
him
in
,
and
they
put
him
in
sitting
:
and
put
in
also
with
him
both
meate
and
drynke
,
and
they
couer
the
hole
with
timber
and
with
earthe
,
and
lefte
open
a
straight
mouth
,
where
a
man
mighte
goe
in
:
to
these
came
their
wiues
,
and
such
as
loued
them
well
,
and
went
in
to
him
,
and
put
in
meate
,
and
after
that
they
were
entered
in
,
the
mouth
was
couered
with
timber
and
earth
:
and
so
they
were
lefte
all
within
,
and
they
sayde
that
they
wente
to
beare
him
company
to
the
other
world
,
where
they
should
haue
better
cheere
and
more
pleasure
.
And
now
there
is
in
this
Iland
many
townes
of
Christians
,
the
principall
towne
is
Sancto
Domingo
,
where
is
a
good
porte
and
ryuer
:
and
likewise
there
is
the
best
trade
of
all
the
Ilande
:
&
this
is
towardes
the
south
parte
:
&
at
the
north
parte
is
the
porte
of
Plata
:
but
the
towne
is
little
,
and
the
porte
is
not
very
good
:
and
by
this
meanes
the
trade
is
litle
.
In
this
Iland
be
many
mountaines
of
Salte
,
and
rockes
of

annoynt

vpon

put
Cotton

,
whiche
they
put
againe
into
the
bodie
,
and
beyng
coloured
therwith
,
they
put
them
into
a
bedde
made
after
the
fashion
of
the
beddes
of
that
countrey
,
and
they
hang
him
vp
in
the
house
,
neare
to
the
place
where
they
make
their
fire
:
and
so
they
keepe
him
It
happened
to
me
,
that
I
tooke
a
towne
called
Catarapa
,
where
we
founde
more
than
xx
.
that
were
hanged
after
this
sort
in
the
houses
.
In
this
countrey
of
Cenu
is
much
golde
in
the
power
of
the
Indians
,
&
very
fine
,
and
it
is
myngled
and
hath
his
foundation
of
Siluer
,
and
there
is
no
parte
of
it
Copper
,
whiche
the
Indians
doe
say
they
bryng
from
certayne
Mountaynes
,
from
whence
the
ryuer
of
Cenu
doth
come
forth
,
from
certayne
places
that
they
call
Mocri
,
and
an
other
Cubra
,
and
an
other
Cud●
:
and
the
earth
that
they
haue
in
those
places
is
somewhat
redde
,
and
Carta
Gena
.
Likewise
there
be
rootes
,
whereof
they
make
bread
,
as
in
the
Iland
of
Cuba
,
and
Iamaica
,
and
the
Espanola
,
but
it
is
of
another
qualitie
:
for
that
of
the
Ilandes
is
naught
,
and
if
any
do
eate
of
it
,
he
dyeth
,
as
though
he
had
eaten
Arnike
:
and
also
if
any
beast
eate
of
it
,
or
drink
of
the
water
that
commeth
out
of
it
,
he
dyeth
.
And
to
make
bread
of
it
,
they
grate
it
,
and
after
they
presse
it
,
and
when
it
remayneth
as
drye
as
powder
,
they
make
bread
of
it
:
and
that
which
groweth
in
this
Citie
of
Cenu
,
and
in
all
the
Countrey
heereabout
,
they
eate
them
rawe
,
and
rosted
,
for
they
are
very
good
to
be
so
eaten
,
and
of
a
good
sauoure
.
A
Protestation
.
I
Did
require
two
Indian
Gentlemen
of
Cenu
,
in
the
behalfe
of
the
King
of
Castile
,
that
they
shoulde
be
subiect
to
the
Kyng
of
Castile
,
and
that
he
woulde
giue
them
to
vnderstande
,
that
there
was
one
God
alone
,
whyche
was
three
persons
in
one
,
and
did
require
them
,
that
they
woulde
leaue
vnto
him
that
Countrey
,
seeyng
that
it
did
apperteyne
to
hym
:
and
if
they
would
liue
in
it
as
they
were
,
that
they
should
giue
to
him
the
obedience
,
as
vnto
their
Lord
,
and
also
shoulde
giue
him
in
token
of
obedience
,
some
thing
euery
yeare
,
euen
so
much
as
they
themselues
would
name
,
and
if
they
would
this
doe
,
the
Kyng
would
giue
them
rewards
and
giftes
,
and
helpe
against
theyr
enimies
,
and
would
put
among
them
learned
men
&
Priestes
,
that
should
shew
them
that
which
doth
apperteyne
to
the
faith
of
Christe
:
and
if
any
of
them
woulde
not
turne
Christians
,
they
should
not
be
compelled
by
force
,
agaynst
their
willes
,
but
they
might
remayne
as
they
were
before
,
and
they
answered
me
to
that
I
sayde
that
there
was
but
one
God
,
and
this
God
gouerned
the
Heauen
and
the
Earth
,
and
was
Lorde
of
all
.
It
lyked
them
very
well
,
who
sayde
,
that
they
thought
it
to
be
true
:
and
they
sayd
,
that
they
were
Lords
of
their
owne
Countrey
,
and
had
no
neede
of
any
other
Lorde
.
Then
I
required
than
agayne
that
they
should
do
it
,
&
not
doing
it
,
I
would
make
warre
agaynst
them
,
&
would
take
their
Towne
,
&
would
kill
as
many
as
I
tooke
,
or
would
keepe
them
prisoners
,
and
sell
them
for
slaues
.
They
aunswered
me
,
that
first
they
would
put
my
head
vpon
a
staffe
,
&
they
laboured
to
do
it
,
but
they
coulde
not
,
for
we
tooke
the
towne
by
force
,
although
they
shotte
at
vs
an
infinite
number
of
arrowes
,
&
al
poysoned
with
hearbes
,
wherwith
they
wounded
two
of
our
men
,
and
both
dyed
,
although
their
wounds
were
but
small
.
After
I
tooke
prisoner
an
Indian
Gentleman
,
of
those
w●ich
I
spake
of
before
,
that
had
declared
to
me
of
the
mines
of
Vocri
,
whome
I
founde
to
be
a
man
of
much
truth
,
&
kept
his
promise
in
al
things
.
And
after
this
sort
are
all
the
warres
of
