The Indians beleeued that fiue ages _were past, which they called Sunnes_. The _Indians_ of _Culhua_ did beléeue that the Gods had made y^e world, but they knew not how, yet they beléeued that since the creation of the world four Sunnes were past, and that the fift and last is y^e Sunne that now giueth light to the world. They helde opinion that the firste Sunne perished by water, and at the same time all liuing creatures perished likewise. The second Sunne (say they) fell from the heauës, with whose fall all liuing creatures were slayne, and then (said they) were manye Giantes in that Countrey, and certayne monstrous bones, which our men found in opening of graues, by proportion whereof, some shoulde séeme to be men of twenty spannes high. The third Sunne was consumed by fire, whiche burned day and night, so that then all liuing creatures were burned.
