On Whitsonday, all the Spanyardes came into the fielde, whereas _Cortes_ made thrée chiefe Captaynes among whome he deuided his whole army. Vnto _Pedro de Aluarado_ the first Captayne, he appoynted thirtie horsemen, and a hundred and seauentie footemen of the Spanyardes, two péeces of ordinance, and thirtie thousande _Indians_, commaunding him to campe in _Tlacopan_. Vnto _Cristoual de Olid_ the seconde Captayne, he gaue thrée and thirtie Horsemen, and a hundred and eyghtéene footemen of the Spanish nation, two péeces of ordinance, and thirtie thousand _Indians_, and appoynted him to pitch his camp in _Culhuacan_. To _Gonsalo de Sandoual_ who was the thyrde Captayne, he gaue thrée and twenty Horsemen, and 160. footemen, two péeces of Ordinance, and 40000. _Indians_, with commission to choose a place to pitch his Campe. In euery _Vergantine_ he planted a péece of ordinäce, sixe hargabushes, or crossebowes, and 23. Spaniards, më most fittest for that purpose. He appointed also Captaynes for eache, and himselfe for general, whereof some of the chiefest of his companye began to murmure that wente by lande, thinking that they had bin in greater daunger, wherefore they required him to goe with the mayne battell, and not by water. _Cortes_ little estéemed their words, for although it is more daunger in the water than in the land, yet it did more importe to haue greater care in the warres by water, than on the land, bycause his men had bin in the one, and not in the other. On the tenth of May _Aluarado_, and _Cristoual de Olid_ departed, and went that night to a Towne called _Acolman_, where was betwéene them greate discorde touchyng their lodgings, yea and if _Cortes_ had not sente to take vp the matter, much mischiefe had ensued. The nexte daye they lodged in _Xolotepec_, whych was not inhabited. The thyrde daye they came vnto _Tlacopan_, whyche was also as all the Townes of the lake, wythout people, there they were lodged in the Lordes house of the Towne. The _Tlaxcaltecas_ began to viewe _Mexico_ by the calsey, and foughte with their enimies, vntill the nighte made them to ceasse.
