A Brief Account of the Destruction of the Indies

Commander whose order the abovesaid Captain had disobey'd and so became a Rebel
to him, was there slain. But many other bloody Tyrants succeeded him, who from the
year 1524 to 1535. did unpeople and make a Desert of the Provinces of Naco and
Hondura (as well as other places) which were lookt upon as the Paradise of delights,
and better peopled then other Regions; insomuch that within the Term of these eleven
years there fell in those Countries above two Millions of Men, and now there are hardly
remaining Two Thousand, who dayly dye by the severity of their Slavery.
But to return to that great Tyrant, who outdid the former in cruelty (as hinted above)
and is equal to those that Tyrannize there at present, who travelled to Guatimala; he
from the Provinces adjoyning to Mexico, which according to his prosecuted journey (as
he himself Writes and testifies with his own hand in Letters to the Prince of Tyrants)
are distant from Guatimala four hundred miles, did make it to his urgent and dayly
business to procure Ruin and Destruction by slaughter, Fire and Depopulations,
compelling all to submit to the Spanish King, whom they lookt upon to be more unjust
and cruel then his inhumane and bloodthirsty Ministers.
