the proceedings of those of the Iunta. The increasing of this opinion, and their credit with the people, raised their thoughts to things of higher consequence, and the novelties which everie daie did produce, were already swoln to so great a number, and spred into so manie parts that it is impossible to relate them so cleerly, fully, and dis∣tinctly as I would. The pretence of the Iunta was so plau∣sible, bearing the sugared name (which they gave it) of Libertie, and exemption from unjust taxes and evil govern∣ment, that divers other places, were likewise in Arms for them; And it was a miracle that anie place stood out: For they favored and countenanced them that followed their fa∣ction, and those of the contrarie Partie were perpetually un∣der the lash of their persecution. In Palencia the people mu∣tinied, and would have killed the brother to their Bishop Mota, with divers Canons, and other Priests of the Citie, be∣caus they had given possession of the Bishoprick to the said Mota, whom they extreamly hated. In Alcala de Henares they turned the Governor, and the Vicar-General to the Arch∣Bishop, out of the Citie, becaus they hated the Arch-Bishop for beeing a kinsman to Xeures, and a stranger. Medina pre∣pared to make open War against Coca and Alaejos, in revenge of the mischiefs and losses which they had susteined by Antonio de Fonseca. It would bee an endless task to undertake to give a particular relation of their outrages, what persecutions, rob∣beries, and murthers, were committed in each place. Those of Segovia did not lie still either, but were perpetually making new attempts against the Earl of Chinchon, and the Town of Espinar, which they assaulted and sacked, as if they had been Infidels, carrying away their wives and daughters, some of whose husbands following after the Segovians, said, That if their wives went with them beyond a certain limit, they should keep them for ever.
