Nowe _Cortez_ béeyng assured of hys true Interpreters, hée celebrated hys accustomed deuine seruice, and _Teudilli_ wyth hym, and after they hadde dyned in _Cortez_ hys Tente in presence of many _Spanyardes_ and _Indians_, _Cortez_ enformed _Teudilli_ howe that hée was vassall to the Lord _Charles_ of _Austria_ Emperour of the Christiäs, and King of _Spayne_, and Lorde ouer a greate parte of the worlde, whome great Kings and Princes dyd serue and obey: and that all Princes were glad to bée hys friendes for his Vertue and myghte. And hée hauyng aduertisemente of that Countrey and Lorde thereof, had sente him thyther to visite hym on hys behalfe, and to enforme hym of certayne secrete matters, the effecte whereof he hadde in wrytyng. Sir (quoth _Teudilli_,) I am very glad to heare the Maiestie and Vertue of the Emperoure youre maister, but you shall vnderstande, that my Lorde the Emperoure _Melzuma_ is as greate and as good a Prince as he. And I doe muche maruell, that there shoulde bée anye so greate a Prince in the whole worlde, but yet according to youre request, I wyll certifye hym, and knowe hys pleasure, for I trust (quoth he) in the clemencie of my Prince, that youre newes and message shall bée acceptable vnto him, and you well recompensed for your paynes. _Cortez_ then commaunded al his men to set themselues in order of battayle with fife and drumme, and to skirmishe before _Teudilli_. And that the horsemen shoulde runne, and the ordinaunce shotte of, to the entent that _Mutezuma_ shoulde be aduertised thereof.

And the shippes, they held opinion was the God of the ayre called _Quezalcoualt_, whiche came with the temples on his backe, for they dayly looked for him. _Teudilli_ dispatched the poste to _Mexico_, to _Mutezuma_, aduising him of all that he had séene, and demaunded golde of him for to giue vnto the Captayne of that newe people. Bicause _Cortez_ had inquired of him, whether _Mutezuma_ had gold or no, he answered (yes) mary quoth _Cortez_, I and my fellowes haue a certayne disease of the harte, and golde helpeth vs. This message wente from the campe to _Mexico_ in one day and a night, whiche is 210. myle, and the poste caried paynted the horses and horsemen vpon them, the maner of theyr armour, and howe many péeces of ordinaunce they had, & what number of bearded men there were: and as for the shippes he had giuë aduise as soone as they arriued, shewing the greatnesse and quantitie of them. All these things aforesayde, _Teudilli_ caused to be paynted in cloth of Cotten very liuely, that _Mutezuma_ mought sée it. The cause that this message wente so farre in so shorte a space, was, they had certayne places that postes attended,
