1. Lope de Aguirre did not think that this was the proper time to show resentment for the loss of his office, but left it to the future, contenting himself with his captaincy of horse. At this time some of the governor's friends told him that it was not to his interest to have Aguirre so much by his side, for that they knew him of old to be a restless and revengeful fellow, and that doubtless he was storing up such feelings for an occasion when least expected. They firmly believed that, for the security of Don Fernando's person, the best thing to do was to kill Aguirre; and, if the governor did not wish to do it, they offered to do the deed, with his permission. But the good feeling of the General (which, at times, was more than requisite for the post he held) did not allow him to kill Aguirre, or consent to his death, although the mutineer had deserved such an end, on too many occasions. The governor tried to appease the anger which Aguirre might feel against him, for his removal from the post of maestro del campo, by making him great promises, saying, that he pledged him his faith and word that he should have his old command before they entered Pirú, and that he would marry a brother of his (who had remained there, named Martin de Guzman) with his mestiza daughter, who was with her father, Lope de Aguirre.
