2. It afterwards happened that the chief of the Christian Catholic Yamazes, a resident of the province of Guale, taking offense without cause at the Spanish governor,* [Arredondo note * Cardenas, Decada 10*.] went over with his people to allegiance to the English of Carolina, failing in that to the King. Not content with this grievous act of bad faith, he declared war upon the province of Timucua, one of those loyal to Spain, sacked and burned the mission and town of Santa Catharina, stole the ornaments of the churches and of the convent of San Francisco, put many persons to a cruel death, and carried off others as prisoners, making them slaves in Carolina, an act that certainly left no doubt of the collusion of the English. 49. [Bolton note: The allusion here is to Chief Altamaha's raid on the Timucua mission in February, 1685. Evidence of the collusion of Lord Cardross is abundant. See Introduction, pp. 40-41.]
