For as much as the situation there was not conuenient to place the newe worke, they determined to go from thence, to _Aguiahuiztlan_, which standeth nere the shadowe of the rocke that _Monteio_ had informed them of, wherevppon _Cortez_ commaunded the shippes to depart, for that place. And he with his foure hundred men and horses would goe by land, and there mete thë, which may be about ten leagues iorney. In this order the fléete departed, and likewise _Cortez_ with his company toward _Zempoallan_ which stoode directly weastward. And after he had iourneyed three leagues he came to the riuer which deuided the Lordshippe of _Mutezuma_ and _Zempoallan_, & coulde finde no passage, wherefore he was forced to returne to the seaside, where with muche adoe they passed ouer, and so trauayled on that side of the riuer, & found cotages of fishermen and other poore houses, and some sowen ground, and procéeding on their iorney at length they came into very faire valleys, wher was great store of deare, and stil they went along the riuer side, hoping to finde some good towne, and in short space, they espied neare twenty persons vppon the toppe of a hill, _Cortez_ commaunded foure of his horsemen to fetch them vnto him, willing thë to make signes of peace vnto them, but if they flie (quoth he) then follow them, vntill you ouertake them, for they shall stand vs in steade, as wel to lead vs the way as to serue vs for enterpreters. [Sidenote: Simplicitie.] The horsemen tooke on theyr way, and when they came to the hill toppe, they made signes of peace vnto them, but the poore and fearefull _Indians_ fledde with spéede, yea being amased and in great feare to beholde suche a monsterous thyng as a horseman, beleuyng assuredly, that horse and man was one thing incorporate, but in theyr flight they were soone ouertaken, and they yéelded themselues, and so were all brought vnto _Cortez_.
