And in prosecution of the said possession, and discouerie of the way & prouinces, the 27. of April of the said yeare, the Master of the Campe entred by little and little with all the Campe and men of warre, more then two leagues into the In∣land, and came to a towne of a principall, and confering with him did let him vnderstand by meanes of Antho: Bisante the Interpretor that his Maiesty & Antho: de Berreo had sent him to take the said possession. And the said fryer Francis Carillo by the Interpretor, deliuered him certain thinges of our holy Catho∣lique faith, to all which he answered, that they vnderstod him well and would become Christians, and that with a very good wil they should aduance the crosse, in what part or place of the towne it pleased them, for he was for the gouernor Antho: de Berreo, who was his Master. Thereupon the said master of the Campe tooke a great crosse, and set it on ende towarde the east, and requested the whole Campe to witnesse it and Do∣mingo de vera firmed it thus.
