Though what thou iayest should be true, it does not
come well srom thy mouth. Go to the Inquihtion,
and tell Huw of Ac.y/j/z, and gvc;;? c/*
They will broil thee, as thy Soldiers broiled the unhappy
Guatimozin. Why dostthou turn pale? Is it the name of
the Inquihtion, or the name of Guatimozin, that troubles
andghrights thee? 0 wretched Man! who madest thyself
a voluntary Instrument to carry into a newdiicovered World
that heUilh Tribunal. Tremble and shake when thou
thinkest, that every Murder the Inquihtors have committed,
every Torture they have infliCIed on the innocent Indians,
is originally owing to thee. Thou mu!! aniwer to Goo
for all their Inhumanity, for all their Injuitice. What
would!! thou give to part with the Renown of thy Conquers,
and to have a consluence as pure and undisturbed as mine ?
CORTEZ.
I seel the force of thy Words. They pierce me like Dag-
gers. I can never, never be happy, while I retain any me-
mory of the ills I have caused. — Yet I thought I did right.
I thought I laboured to advance the Glory of G o D , and pro-
pagate in the remote!! Parts of the Earth his holy Religion.
He will be merciful to well dehgning and pious Error. Thou
also wilt have need of that gracious indulgence; though
not, I own, io much as 1.
PENN.
Ask thvHeart, whether Ambition was not thy realMotive,
