[Lewis Tissera served as he intended to serve the King.] Another General after him was Lewis Tiffera.  He swore he would make the King eat Coracan Tallipa, that is a kind hasty Pudding, made of Water and the Coracan Flower; which is reckoned the worst fare of that Island.  The King afterwards took this Lewis Tissera, and put him in Chains in the Common Goal, and made him eat of the same fare.  And there is a Ballad of this Man and this passage, Sung much among the common People there to this day.

[Simon Caree, of a cruel Mind.] Their next General was Simon Caree, a Natural Chingulays, but Baptized.  He is said to be a great Commander.  When he had got any Victory over the Chingulays, he did exercise great Cruelty.  He would make the Women beat their own Children in their Mortars, wherein they used to beat their Corn.

[Gaspar Figari Splits Men in the middle.] Gaspar Figari, had a Portugueze Father and Chingulays Mother.  He was the last General they had in this Countrey.  And a brave Soldier:  but degenerated not from his Predecessors in Cruelty.  He would hang up the People by the heels, and split them down the middle.  He had his Axe wrapped in a white Cloth, which he carried with him into the Field to execute those he suspected to be false to him, or that ran away.  Smaller Malefactors he was merciful to, cutting off only their right hands.  Several whom he hath so served, are yet living, whom I have seen.

[His Policy.] This Gaspar came up one day to fight against the King, and the King resolved to fight him.  The General fixed his Camp at Motaupul in Hotteracourly.  And in order to the King’s coming down to meet the Portugueze, Preparation was made for him at a place called Cota coppul, which might be Ten or Twelve miles distant from the Portugueze Army.  Gaspar knew of the place by some Spies; but of the time of the Kings coming he was informed, that it was a day sooner than really it happened.  According to this information he resolved privatly to march thither, and come upon him in the night unawares.  And because he knew the King was a Polititian, and would have his Spies abroad to watch the Generals motion, the General sent for all the Drummers and Pipers to Play and Dance in his Camp, that thereby the Kings Spies might not suspect that he was upon the March, but merry and secure in his Camp.  In the mean time, having set his People all to their Dancing and Drumming, he left a small party there to secure the Baggage, and away he goes in the night with his Army, and arrives to Catta coppul, intending to fall upon the King.  But when he came thither, he found the King was not yet come:  but into the Kings Tents he went, and, sits him down in the seat appointed for the King. [Gives the King a great overthrow.] Here he heard where the King was with his Camp:  which being not far off, he marched thither in the morning and fell upon him:  and gave him one of the greatest Routs that ever he had.  The King himself made a narrow escape; for had it not been for a Dutch Company, which the Dutch had sent a little before for his Guard, who after his own Army fled, turned head and stopped the Portugueze for a while, he had been seized.  The Portugueze General was so near the King, that he called after him, Houre, that is Brother, stay, I would speak with you, but the King being got a top of the Hills; was safe.  And so Gaspar retyred to his Quarters.
