Summary

“Those very Indians, who had thus been brought under the rule of the Ynca, recognising the benefits they had received with great satisfaction, entered into the mountains and wildernesses in search of their countrymen, and spread the news of those children of the Sun. They explained that the Ynca had come down to the earth for the good of all men, and they recounted the many benefits he had conferred. They then displayed their clothes, and showed their new kinds of food, and that they now lived in houses and villages, that their words might be believed. When the wild people heard all this, they assembled in great numbers to behold the wonderful things that our first parents, king and lords, had performed. Having satisfied themselves by their eyes, they remained, to serve and obey the Ynca. In this way one party brought another, until, in a few years, so great a multitude was assembled that, after the first six or seven years, the Ynca had a body of armed and disciplined men to defend him against any invader, and even to subject by force all who were not willing to submit of their own accord. He taught them to make offensive arms, such as bows and arrows, lances, clubs, and others, which are still used.
