Within nine days Cachil Amuxa and Pablo de Lima returned to Terrenate, with the king, and prince his son, and others of his kinsmen, Cachils and Sangajes1, under the before-mentioned safe conduct, and placed themselves in the hands of the governor, who receeived them with friendship and honour. He lodged the king and his son in a good house in the town, with a guard of one company. The king restored the villages of christians, which His Majesty had possessed in the island of the Moor, at the time when the Portuguese lost the fortress of Terrenate. He placed his person and kingdom in the hands of His Majesty, and gave up a quantity of muskets and heavy artillery which he had in some forts of the said island. The governor did not dispossess him of his kingdom, but on the contrary, allowed him to choose two of his own people, who should be satisfactory to the governor, to govern. The king, the prince his son, and his Cachils and Sangajes, swore fealty to His Majesty, and in thé same manner, the Kings of Tidore and Bachan, and the Sangaje of La Bua took the oaths, and capitulated and promised not to admit the Dutch in the Maluco, neither them, nor other nations for the clove trade; and that as vassals of His Majesty, they should on all occasions come and serve him with their persons, forces, and ships, whenever they were summoned by whoever should have the command of the fortress of Terrenate; and that they should not molest any Muslims who might wish to become Christians, and that if any bad Christian should go to their country to throw off his religion, they should give him up; and other things which were expedient. In this way, the great and small remained contented and satisfied, seeing themselves free from the tyranny with which the King of Terrenate treated them. The governor remitted to them the payment of a third part of the tribute, which they used to pay to the king, and gave other advantages to the Muslims. After that, he traced out another fortress in modern fashion, on an eminent position and very suitable, and left it commenced, and in order that until it was completed, the existing fortification should be in a better state of defence, he reduced it to a lesser extent than what it then covered, making new cavaliers and bastions, which he left completed with ramparts of earth, with fortified gates. In the island of Tidore he left another fortress begun, close to the town in a good site, and having set in order all that seemed necessary in Terrenate and Tidore, and in the other towns and fortresses of the Maluco, he returned with the fleet to the Philippines; he left in Terrenate the master of the camp, Juan de Esquivel, as his lieutenant and governor of Maluco, with a garrison of six hundred soldiers, five hundred of whom in five companies remained
