_Cortes_ went forward on his way, and came to _Quahutichan_ and _Huaxuta_, which are suburbes of _Tezcuco_, where he and all his host were plenteously prouided of al things necessary, and threw downe the Idolles. This done, hée entred into the Citie, where his lodging was prepared in a great house, sufficient for him and all the Spanyardes, with many other the _Indian_ friends. And bycause that at his first entry, he sawe neyther women nor children, hee suspected some treason, and forthwith proclaymed, vpon payne of death, that none of his men should go out. The Spaniards began to triumph in their lodgings and chäbers, placing euery thing in good order. In the euening they went vp into the _Zoties_ and galleries, to beholde the Citie, which is as bigge as _Mexico_, and there they sawe the greate number of Citizens that fledde from thence with their stuffe, some towardes the mountaines, and others to the water side to take boate, a thing straunge, to sée the great hast and stirre to prouide for themselues, at the least ther were twentie thousand litle boates (called _Conoas_) occupyed, in carying houshold stuffe and passengers. _Cortes_ would fayne haue remedied it, but that night was so nygh at hand, that he coulde not. He would gladly also haue apprehended the Lord, but he was one of the first that fledde vnto _Mexico_. _Cortes_ caused many of the Citizens, to be called before him, and hauing in hys company a yong gentleman of a noble house in that coütrey, who was also last christened, & had to name _Hernädo_, _Cortes_ being his godfather, who loued him well, sayde vnto the citizens, that this new Christian lord, _Don Hernädo_, was sonne vnto _Nezaualpincintli_ their louing Lord, wherfore he required them to make him their king, considering that _Coacnacoyocin_, was fled vnto the enimies, laying also before them his wicked fact in killing of _Cacuza_ his own brother, only to put him from his inheritance & kingdome, through the enticemente of _Quahutimoccin_, a mortal enimie to the Spaniards. In this sort was _Don Hernando_ elected king, and the fame therof being blowen abroade, manye citizens repayred home againe to visite their newe Prince, so that in short space the citie was as wel replenished with people, as it was before, and being also well vsed at the Spaniardes handes, they serued them dilygentlye in all thyngs that they were commaunded. And _Don Hernando_ aboade euer after a faithfull friende vnto the Spaniardes, and in short tyme learned the Spanishe tongue: and soone after came the inhabitants of _Quahutichan_, _Huaxuta_ and _Auntenco_, to submytte them selues, crauing pardon, if in any thyng they had offended. _Cortez_ pardoned them, and gaue them licence to departe home vnto their houses.
