And I further remember that Berreo confessed to me and others； which
I protest before the Majesty of God to be true； that there was found 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。
