_Cacama_ aunswered, that he had no friendship with him that woulde take away hys honor and kingdome, and that the warres whych he pretended, was profitable for his vassals, and in defence of their Countrey and Religion, yea and before he determined peace, he meante to reuenge hys Vncles wrongs and his goddes. Also (quoth he) what haue I to doe wyth the Kyng of _Spayne_, who is a man that I know not, no nor yet would gladly heare of hym. _Cortez_ turned agayne to admonishe and require hym diuers tymes to leaue off his determination, and wylled _Mutezuma_ to commaunde hym to accepte hys offer. Wherevpon _Mutezuma_ sente vnto hym, desiryng him to come vnto _Mexico_, to take some order in those controuersies and discordes betwixte hym and the _Spanyardes_. _Cacama_ aunswered very sharply vnto his Vncles request, saying, if you had bloud in your eye, or the hearte of a Prince, you woulde not permit your selfe to bée prisoner, and captiue of foure poore straungers, who with their fayre speache and flatteryng talke haue bewitched you, and vsurped your kingdome, no nor yet, suffer the Goddes of _Culhua_ to be throwen downe and spoyled, yea and the _Mexican_ religion and holy places, violated and troden with théeues féete and deceyuers: likewise the honour, glory, and fame of your predecessors blotted and abased, through your faynt stomacke and cowardize. But notwithstanding, accordyng to your request, and to repayre our religiö, to restore the Goddes to their Temples, to preserue the kingdome, and to procure libertie for you and the Cittie, I will obay your commaundement: But how? not with my handes in my bosome, but lyke a warrier, to kill those Spaniardes who haue so affrented the nation of _Culhua_. Our men stoode in great perill, as well of the losing of _Mexico_ as of their owne liues, if this warre and mutinie had not soone bene qualified: for why? _Cacama_ was valiant, stoute, and a good souldier, yea and well furnished of men of warre: also the Citizens of _Mexico_, were desirous of the same, for to redéeme _Mutezuma_ their prince, and to kill the Spaniardes, or else to expulse them out of the Cittie.
