But poore _Mutezuma_ remedied the matter, knowyng or foreseing, that warres would not preuayle, yea and beleued, that at the ende all shoulde fall vpon his backe. He dealt with certayne Captaynes & Gentlemen that dwelt in _Tezcuco_ with _Cacama_, to apprehend him, and bryng him prysoner, cösidering that he was their king and yet aliue. But whether it were, that those Captaynes had serued _Mutezuma_ in the warres, or whether it were for giftes & rewardes, they apprehended _Cacama_ being in counsell among them, treatyng of his warres pretended, and embarked him in a boate armed for the purpose, and so brought him to _Mexico_ without any further slander or stryfe, and when he was comen to _Mexico_, they put him on a riche seate, as the Kings of _Tezcuco_ were wonte to sitte vpon, beyng the greatest Prince in all that lande next vnto _Mutezuma_: and in this sorte brought him before his vncle, who would not looke vpon him, but commaunded him to be deliuered vnto _Cortes_, who incontinent clapped a payre of giues on his legges, and a payre of manacles on his handes, and put hym into sure Guarde and custodie. After that _Cacama_ was in this order prysoner, with the consent of _Mutezuma_ was elected Lorde and Prince of _Tezcuco_ and _Culhuacan_, _Cucuzca_, _Cacama_ his yonger brother, who was abidyng in _Mexico_ with his vncle, and fled from his brother: _Mutezuma_ did entitle him with the ceremonies accustomed vnto Princes newly elected and chosen. So that forthwith he was obeyed in _Tezcuco_ by _Mutezuma_ his commaundement, for he was there better beloued than _Cacama_, who was somewhat of a croked nature. In this sorte was remedied all the former perill, but if there had bene many _Cacamas_, it would haue fallen out otherwise. Here _Cortes_ made kings, and cömaunded with as great auctoritie as though he had obtayned already the whole Empire of _Mexico_: and certainely sithens his first entry into that countrey, he had an assured hope to win _Mexico_, and to be Lorde ouer the whole state of _Mutezuma_. The Oration that Mutezuma made _vnto his Noble men, yeelding himselfe to the King of Castile_. After the imprisonment of _Cacama_, _Mutezuma_ proclaymed a Parliament, vnto the which came all the Seniors _Comarcans_, and beyng all together, he made the Oration followying vnto them.
