Angola

P. L. 11. 401; Sixteen Let. 13. (See also Congo.) A district in southeast Africa, now under Portuguese rule. The following is given in Purchas: “The King of Angola, being times past but a Govern our or Deputie under the King of Congo, made himselfe a free and an absolute Prince, and And so usurped all that Quarter to his owne Jurisdiction. afterwards in time conquered other Countries thereabouts, insomuch as he is now growne to be a great Prince and a rich, and in power little inferior to the King of Congo himselfe.” {Pilgrimes 2. 995.) Purchas’ map of Congo shows Angola as the most southern division of the country, a fact to which Milton probably refers by the words ’“Angola fardest South.” in.... 38
