In which the beginning of the government of Benençuela is written, and who were the first Spaniards who began it.

I have not found the clarity that I wanted about the discovery and first settlement of the government of Benençuela and it was fair so that the relationship and news that I wrote about this government would be complete and more accurate to the taste of the readers, because I understand that our successors and historians who will succeed us in the coming centuries will not cease to be disgusting with this defect. But they may believe that it is not my fault, because I have certainly put the diligence to my best to find out very well, and I have only found that in the year one thousand four hundred and ninety-eight, on the third trip that Don Cristoval Columbus made the Indies, when heading through the mouths of the Drago, which are made between the island of Trinidad and Tierra Firme, he came to Cumana and Cubagua Island, where he found the pearl fisheries, and skirting all that coast Towards the West he discovered as far as Cabo de la Vela, where there was also a pearl fishery; In this navigation and discovery he entered the entire coast of Venençuela, which is from the port and province of Caracas to the Maracaybo lagoon.
