_Cortes_ vsed great sobrietie and discretion, for he would not permitte anye of the prisoners to be reuiled or misused with any iniurious wordes, no nor yet _Naruaez_, who hadde spoken so much euill of him, although many of hys men desired reuengement. _Pedro de Maluenda_ seruaunt to _Iames Velasques_, who was chiefe Stewarde to _Naruaez_, fledde to the Shippes with all the stuffe that he coulde gette, without any lette of _Cortes_. Héere may you sée what difference and aduantage is betwixt man and man, what did eache of these Captiues say, thinke, and doe, seldome time dothe happen that so fewe of one nation dothe ouercome so many of the same nation, especially the greater number béeyng fresh, lustie, and in a strong holde. The Rebellion of Mexico against _Cortes_. After that _Cortes_ had obteyned victorye against _Naruaez_, he knew very well the most part of his company, vnto whome he spake curteously, praying them to forget the things past, and so would hée also. And also likewise, that it mighte please them to goe with him to _Mexico_, whiche was the richest Citie of all that _India_. He also restored to euerye man his armour and weapons, whiche were taken from them in their ouerthrowe. Hée also left very few of them prisoners with _Naruaez_. The Horsemen tooke the fielde with stomacke to fight, but after they had hearde of hys offer, they submitted themselues. In conclusion, all those that were come, hoping of spoyle, were glad to accepte his offer, and to goe with him with faithfull promise truly to serue him. He renued his power in _Vera Crux_, and brought thyther the nauie of _Naruaez_. He also dispatched two hundred Spanyardes to the riuer of _Garay_, and sent also _Iohn Velasques de Leon_ with other two hundred men. To inhabite of _Coazacoalco_. He dispatched also a Spanyarde by post to _Mexico_, with newes of the victory, and hée himselfe followed towarde _Mexico_, with the great care that he had of those whome he had lefte there in guard of _Mutezuma_ and the Citie. The Post that wente on this iourney, in steade of thankes, was sore wounded by the _Indian_ Rebelles, but although he was so hurte, yet he returned to _Cortes_, wyth newes that _Mexico_ was reuolted, and that they had burned the foure Foystes, also assieged the Spanish house, and throwen downe a wall, and myned another, yea and set fire vpon the munition, taken away their vittayles, and had broughte them to suche extremitie, to be eyther slayne, or remayne prisoners, sauing that _Mutezuma_ commaunded to ceasse the combate, yea and for all that they woulde not leaue their armoure, nor departe from the siege, only they somewhat amayned their furie for theyr princes sake.
