among　the　prophecies　in　Peru；　at　such　time　as　the　empire　was　reduced
to　the　Spanish　obedience；　in　their　chiefest　temples；　amongst　divers
others　which　foreshadowed　the　loss　of　the　said　empire；　that　from
Inglatierra　those　Ingas　should　be　again　in　time　to　come　restored；　and
delivered　from　the　servitude　of　the　said　conquerors。　And　I　hope；　as　we
with　these　few　hands　have　displanted　the　first　garrison；　and　driven
them　out　of　the　said　country；　so　her　Majesty　will　give　order　for　the
rest；　and　either　defend　it；　and　hold　it　as　tributary；　or　conquer　and
keep　it　as　empress　of　the　same。　For　whatsoever　prince　shall　possess
it；　shall　be　greatest；　and　if　the　king　of　Spain　enjoy　it；　he　will
become　unresistible。　Her　Majesty　hereby　shall　confirm　and　strengthen
the　opinions　of　all　nations　as　touching　her　great　and　princely
actions。　And　where　the　south　border　of　Guiana　reacheth　to　the　dominion
and　empire　of　the　Amazons；　those　women　shall　hereby　hear　the　name　of　a
virgin；　which　is　not　only　able　to　defend　her　own　territories　and　her
neighbours；　but　also　to　invade　and　conquer　so　great　empires　and　so　far
removed。

To　speak　more　at　this　time　I　fear　would　be　but　troublesome：　I　trust　in
God；　this　being　true；　will　suffice；　and　that　he　which　is　King　of　all
Kings；　and　Lord　of　Lords；　will　put　it　into　her　heart　which　is　Lady　of
Ladies　to　possess　it。　If　not；　I　will　judge　those　men　worthy　to　be
kings　thereof；　that　by　her　grace　and　leave　will　undertake　it　of
themselves。








The　End
