He gaue to _Teudilli_ a coate of silke, a brooche, and a coller of glasse, with many other péeces of Haberdashe wares, whiche was highly estéemed of him. The talke of Cortez vvith _Teudilli_. [Sidenote: A maruellous happe.] Al the former talke was had without an Interpreter, bycause _Ieronimo de Aguillar_ vnderstoode not thys language, bycause it differed muche from the spéeche of the other _Indians_, whereas hée hadde bin captiue: for whyche cause _Cortez_ was somewhat carefull, bicause he would largely haue discoursed with _Teudilli_. It chanced that among those twentie women giuen hym in _Potonchan_, one of them stoode talking with a seruaunte of _Teudilli_, bycause she vnderstoode them as menne of hir owne language. _Cortez_ espying this, called hir aside, and promised hir more than libertie, so that she woulde bée a trustie and faithfull interpreter betwixte hym and those _Indians_, and that hée woulde estéeme hir as his Secretarie. And further demanded of hir of what lignage she was, then she aunswered, that she was naturall of the Countrey that bordered vpö _Xalixco_, and of a towne called _Viluto_, daughter vnto riche parentes, and of the kinrede of the Lorde of that lande. And béeyng a little girle, certayne Merchantes dyd steale hir away in tyme of warre, and brought hir to be solde at the fayre of _Xicalanco_, whyche is a greate Towne néere _Coasaqualco_, not farre distant from _Tauasco_: and after this sorte shée came to the power of the Lord of _Potonchan_. This woman was Christened _Marina_. She and hir fellowes were the firste Christians baptised in all the newe _Spayne_, and she onely with _Aguilar_, were Interpreters betwixt the _Indiäs_ and our men.
