 Ximo he hath nominated 4 of his especiall fauourites; whom (to all mens admiration) he will haue to be heads ouer all these new kingdomes, notwithstanding that here are 4 others farre more mighty then they. Of whom (by Gods good prouidence) two are Christians, to wit, Augustine Eucunocamindono gouernour of half the kingdom of Finga, and Cainocami the son of Quambioindono gouernour of the greater part of the kingdome of Bugen. The other two are Ethniques, namely Toranosque gouernour of the halfe of the kingnomkingdom [sic] at Finga and Augustins mortall enemie; and Iconocomi gouernour of the residue of the kingdome of Bugen, and an enmie [sic] both to Augustine and Cainocami. And Quabacondon hath commanded all the Christian lordes of Feximo to follow Christian gouernours Whereupon the lord Protasiuo there with 2000 souldiers; and Omurandono the lord of Ceuxima and Augustins sonne in law, which lately became a Christian with a thousand.

The other Christian gouernour Cainocami being but a yong man of 25 yeeres, he commanded the king of Bungo to follow with 6000 souldiers; so that with the 4000 which hee had before, his number amounted vnto l0000, besides mariners and others which caried burthens. This was most ioyfull newes to vs, and to all the Christians. Of the Ethnick lords Quabacondono appointed the gouernour of Riosogo together with Foranosuque to march with 8000: and likewise the king of Saçeuma and Iconocami with as many. And amongst all he gaue the first chiefe place vnto Augustine. All the other souldiers of Iapan hee caused to accompanie his
