In which is set forth, his journey from St. John de Ulva to Mexico, with a description of that great city as in former times, and at present; as also his travels through many other parts of New-Spain; with an account of their government, castles, ports, and commodities; as also their ecclesiastical state, in which the lascivious intrigues, and wicked lives of the Jesuits and friars in those parts, and their grand impositions upon the poor ignorant natives, are truly delineated. To which is added, the policy, manners, behaviour, arts and sciences, religious rites and ceremonies, feasts and solemnities of the native Indians. Concluding with, the wonderful conversion of the author to the Protestant religion; his escape from the Spaniards, in South-America; his return to England, his native country; and the reception he met with there by his relations, after an absence of four-and-twenty years.
