_Cortes_ perceyuing the small fruyte that his letters (presentes) and messengers, obtayned at the handes of _Naruaez_, and that in no case, he woulde shewe his commission whiche came from the kyng, he determined to goe vnto him, and according to the olde Prouerbe, Face to face doth get respect, and likewise if it were possible, to agrée vpon some good order and quietnesse: wherevpon he sent _Rodrigo Aluarez_ his surueyor, with _Iohn Velasques_, and _Iohn del Rio_, to treate with _Naruaez_ of many matters, whereof thrée things were the principalest. The first was, that they two might méete alone, or else so many, for so many, and that _Naruaez_ should permit _Cortes_ to abyde in _Mexico_, and he withall his company shoulde cöquere _Panuco_ or other kingdomes, also that _Cortes_ would pay the charges, and haue consideration to gratifie his souldiers, or else that _Naruaez_ should abide in _Mexico_, and deliuer vnto _Cortes_ .400. of his men, to the intent that with them, and his owne men he myght procéede to séeke other countreys to conquere. Laste of all, he required to sée the kings commission, for that he would obey the same. _Naruaez_ liked none of these offers, only he accepted that they should méete togither with ech of them ten Gentlemë for securtie, bound with solemne othe, and firmed this agréement with their names. But it tooke no effect, for _Rodrigo Aluarez_ aduised _Cortes_ that _Naruaez_ had made a snare to apprehend him, or to kill him at their méeting. _Cortes_ vnderstoode the matter, or else he had some other intelligence by some that loued him wel. And this former agrement taking no place, _Cortes_ determined to goe vnto him.
