They burned and spoyled thrée _Zoties_ néere vnto their owne lodging, whiche hadde greately annoyed them before. The residue of the Spanyardes whiche abode at home, amended the engins, and repaired their houses. As this iourney hapned well vnto them, earely in the morning they procéeded out againe, and wente to the bridge where their engins hadde bin broken, and although they founde there greate resistance, yet the matter imported their liues. They foughte with noble courage, and gote manye towers, houses and _Zoties_. They wanne also four of the eyght bridges which were in the Citie, leauing gard in those places whyche were wonne, returning to their Campe with manye woundes, beyng both wéery and full of care and sorrow. The next daye they came forth againe, and wanne the other foure bridges, and dammed them vp with earth, in such sorte, that the Horsemen that way followed the enimies to the firme lande. _Cortez_ being occupyed in damming vp the ditches, and making plaine way of the bridges, there came certayne messengers vnto him, saying, that néere at hand, abode many noblemen and Captaines to treate of peace, requiring hym to come vnto them, praying him to bring _Tlamacazque_ his prisoner, who was one of the principallest of the Diuels Cleargie there, to heare the treatie of the matter. _Cortes_ wente, and carried the Priest with him, whome he appoynted to require them to ceasse from contention, and to remoue their siege, but he came not backe wyth aunswere. All thys was a fayned fetche, to sée the state of the Christian Campe, or else to recouer their religious _Tlamacazque_. _Cortes_ séeyng theyr deceyte, wente hys way to dinner, and was no sooner sette at hys meate, but certayne _Tlaxcaltecas_ came running in with an open crye, saying, that theyr enimies hadde recouered agayne the bridges, and wente armed vp and downe the stréetes, and hadde also slayne the most of the Spanyardes that were lefte in garde of the bridges. Incontinente _Cortes_ wente out with the Horsemenne, who were readyest at that tyme, and made way through the troupe of enimies, following them euen vnto the firme lande, but at theyr returne, the footemen that were hurt and wéeried in kéeping of the stréete, coulde not susteyne the force and furie of the infinite number of _Indians_, whyche came vpon them, yea with muche adoe they coulde escape home to their forte. The multitude was not so greate of _Indians_ in the stréete, but also by water in _Canoas_, so that stones flewe on both sydes, and galled oure men cruelly. _Cortes_ was hurte in one of hys knées very sore, wherevppon it was blowen abroade through the Citie, that _Cortes_ was slayne, whiche newes dyd greately discourage our men, and much animate the _Indians_. But yet _Cortes_ for all hys payne and hurt, ceassed not to embolden & encourage hys Souldyers, who set afreshe vpon the enimies. At the farthest bridge fel two Horses, which troubled muche oure men that followed. _Cortes_
