The _Indians_ gaue credite to his talke seyng so many bearded men and horses, and therevpon began to attende and serue him, leauyng their olde friendes in _Vera Crux_. Also _Naruaez_ began to flatter _Mutezuma_, and sente him worde that _Cortes_ aboade in that countrey against the will of his Prince, & that he was a couetous rebell, who robbed his countrey, and that he pretended to kill _Mutezuma_, and to make himself king. Also that his comming was to set him at libertie, and to restore vnto him all that those wicked fellowes had taken from him. And bicause that others should take example of their factes, he would commaunde them all to be slaine, willing him to take no care, for in short space they would sée ech other. And that when he had set him at libertie with restitution of his goodes, he would incontinent departe his countrey. These treaties were so foule & abhominable, with the iniurious wordes which _Pamfilo de Naruaez_ spake openly against _Cortes_ and his men, yea they séemed odious vnto all his owne hoste & army, and some of his own më checked him for the same, especially _Barnardino de Santa Clara_, who seyng the countrey so peaceable and so well pleased with _Cortes_, he could not let but reprehende _Naruaez_ in his wordes. Also the licenciat _Aillon_ required him diuers times to cease frö his slanderous talke, vpon paine of death & losse of his goodes, & also not to procéede towarde _Mexico_, for the great hurte that might ensue, with slander among the _Indians_, disquietnesse among the Spaniardes, and offence to the Emperour his Maiestie. _Pamfilo de Naruaez_ being moued with his talke layde hand vpon _Aillon_, being a chiefe iudge for the King, and apprehended also his Secretary & an other officer, and forthwith shipped them, and sente thë to _Iames Velasques_ gouernour of _Cuba_. But when _Aillon_ saw himselfe at sea, and frée from _Naruaez_, he began to threaten y^e Mariners, cömanding thë not to presume to carrie him to _Cuba_ to _Velasquez_ his power, but onely to _Santo Domingo_, where he was one of y^e kings coüsell in chancery: the Mariners fearing the Kings iustice, obeyed his cömandemët and when he was aported at _Santo Domingo_, he wholly enformed the Counsell there, of _Naruaez_ and his wicked dealyng, whose testimonie and information did much blemishe the credite of _Velasques_, & exalt the trauels of _Cortes_. After that _Naruaez_ had shipped away _Aillon_, he proclaymed warre with fire and sworde agaynst _Cortes_, and promised certayne markes of Golde to him that shoulde apprehende or kill him, or _Pedro de Aluarado_, and _Gonsalo de Sandoual_, with other principall persons of his company. Also he made diuision of his goodes among his më before they came to possesse it. Surely these thrée poyntes were of a man without wisedome or discretion.
