_Tenich_ standeth vp towarde the head of the same riuer of _Malinaltepec_, who are people of another language, and would not permitte our men to haue relation of the thing that they sought. The Lorde of that place is called _Coatelicamatl_, who is not subiecte to _Mutezuma_, nor yet is his friende, thinking that his men hadde bin espyes: but when he was enformed who they were, he gaue the _Spanyardes_ licence to be resolued of their affayres, but straitly commaunded, that the _Indians_ of _Mexico_ should not presume to come into his dominion. When the _Mexicans_ hearde these newes, they required the _Spanyardes_ not to credite that _Cazike_, saying, that he was an euill and a cruell man, and would surely kill them. Our men were somewhat amazed, fearing to talke with _Coatelicamatl_, although they hadde his licence, séeyng the people of the countrey armed with Launces of fiue and twenty foote lög: but yet at lëgth leauing cowardise aside, they procéeded forwards. _Coatelicamatl_ receyued thë curteously, and shewed them sixe or seauen riuers with golde, out of the which graynes of golde were taken in his presence, who gaue the same moster vnto them, and sente also his Embassadors to _Cortez_, offering his lande and person vnto him, with certayne mantels, and Iewels of golde. _Cortez_ more reioyced of the Embassage, than of the gold and presents, knowing thereby that _Mutezuma_ hys enimies desired his friendshippe: but _Mutezuma_ and hys counsell liked not the matter, for although _Coatelicamatl_ is no great Lord, yet his people are good souldyers, and his countrey full of wildernesse, of Rockes and Mountaynes. The other that wente to _Tutepec_, which standeth néere the sea coast, and twelue leagues frö _Malinaltepec_, returned likewise with moster of golde of two Riuers, and brought newes that the Countrey was fit to buylde vppon, with hope to reape muche golde, finding once an arte to get it out of the riuer.
