[A] Otros muchos dioses no tan principales como los ya dichos inventaron vuestros antepasados, uno de los cuales y muy común es el dios del fuego, al cual llamaron Xiuhtecuhtli, y por otro nombre Ixcuzauhqui, y por otro nombre Cuezaltzin, y por otro nombre le llamaban Huehuetéutl y también Tota. Adoraban al fuego como a dios y teníanle por dios por los maravillosos efectos que hace de quemar, calentar, asar, cocer, etcétera. Hacían fiesta muy solenne a este dios en el mes que se llama izcalli, donde a su honra mataban muchos captivos y hacían muchas ofrendas y cerimonias. En la fiesta deste dios, de cuatro en cuatro años, agujeraban las orejas a los niños y niñas. Hay conjectura que en este año echaban seis días de nemontemi, y ansí hacían bisesto cada cuatro años. Grande ceguedad fue ésta de vuestros antepasados, que a la criatura irrational que crió Dios para servicio de todos los hombres la adorasen por dios, como si entendiese.
\n[B] Otro demonio adoraban vuestros antepasados, al cual llamaban Macuilxúchitl, por otro nombre Xo[chipilli]
