IT is greatly to be feared, least God will lay Spain desolate, euen for those horrible sinnes that this nation hath cōmitted in the Indies, whereof we do euidently beholde the scorge, and all the world doth see & confesse that already it hāgeth ouer our heads, wher with God doth afflict & shew that he is highly offēded in those parts through the great destruction and wast of those nati∣ons, in that of so great tresures as haue bin transported out of the
Indies into Spaine (the like quantitie of golde and siluer, ney∣ther K Salomō, neither any other worldly prince euer had, sawe, or heard of) there is none left, besids yt of that that was here be∣fore the Indies were discouered, there is nowe none to be foūd, no neuer a whit. Hereof it commeth that thinges are thrise dea∣rer then they were, the poore that haue want doe suffer great miseries: and your maiestie can not dispatch matters of great im∣portaunce.
