que le ponían en el cielo, de alegría, que el mundo no se acababa y que tenían otros cincuenta y dos años por ciertos.
\nLa última solemnidad que hicieron deste fuego nuevo fue el año de mil y quinientos y siete. Hiciéronle con toda solemnidad porque no habían venido los españoles a esta tierra. El año de mil y quinientos y cincuenta y nueve se acabó la otra gavilla de años, que ellos llaman toximmolpilía. En ésta no hicieron solemnidad pública porque ya los españoles y religiosos estaban en esta tierra, de manera que este año de mil y quinientos y setenta y seis anda en quince años de la gavilla de años que corre.
\nCuando sacaban fuego nuevo y hacían esta solemnidad renovaban el pacto que tenían con el Demonio de servirle, y renovaban todas las estatuas del Demonio que en su casa tenían, y todas las alhajas de su servicio y las de sus casas, y hacían grandes alegrías por saber que ya tenían el mundo seguro, que no se acabaría por cincuenta y dos años.
\nClaramente consta que este artificio de contar fue invención del Diablo, para hacerlos renovar el pacto que con él tenían, de cincuenta en cincuenta y dos años, y amedrentándolos con la fin del mundo y haciéndolos entender que él alargaba el tiempo y les hacía merced dél, pasando el mundo adelante.
\nDemás desta cuenta tenían que de ocho en ocho años hacían un ayuno de pan y agua por espacio de ocho días, y hacían al cabo una fiesta donde hacían solemne areito de diversos personajes, donde decían que descubrían ventura o que la merecían, y llamábanla atamalcualiztli.
\nOtra fiesta hacían de cuatro en cuatro años a honra del fuego, donde agujeraban las orejas a todos los niños y niñas, y la llamaban pillahuanaliztli. Y en esta fiesta es verisímile y hay conjecturas que hacían su bisexto, contanto seis de nemontemi.
\nLa otra cuenta del tiempo es de un año, el cual repartían en deciocho meses, y cada mes le daban veinte días, y cada uno destos meses era dedicado a uno o a dos dioses, y hacían en él sus fiestas. Cada uno destos meses le repartían de cinco en cinco días, y hacían las ferias el último día destos cinco en un pueblo, y dende a cinco

\nwhich rose to the heavens with joy that the world was not ending and that they had another fifty-two years assured.
\nThe last ceremony of new fire which they held was in the year 1507. They held it with full solemnity, because the Spaniards had not come to this land. In the year 1559 ended the next bundle of years, which they call Toximmolpilia. On this occasion they held no public ceremony, because the Spaniards and members of the religious Orders were now in this land. So that this year, 1576, is the fifteenth of the current bundle of years.
\nWhen they made the new fire and held this ceremony, they renewed their covenant with the devil to serve him, and they renovated all the statues of the devil which they had in his house, and all the ornaments for his service, and those of their houses. And they rejoiced greatly to know that now they held the world to be secure and that it would not come to an end for fifty-two years. It is clear that this device of counting years was an invention of the devil to make them renew the covenant which they made with him every fifty-two years—[the devil] terrifying them with [the threat of] the end of the world and making them think that he lengthened the time and favored them thereby, letting the world move on.
\nBesides this they held, every eight years, a fast on bread and water, for eight days; and at its conclusion they celebrated a feast in which they held a solemn dance by various personages, in which they said that they revealed what would come to pass or what fortune they merited; and they called it Atamalqualiztli.
\nThey observed another feast every four years, in honor of the fire [god], during which they pierced the ears of all the boys and girls; and they called it Pillauanaliztli. And during this feast it is likely, and there are conjectures, that they held their leapyear, reckoning six [days] of Nemontemi.
\nThe remaining time-count is of the year, which they divided into eighteen months, to each of which they assigned twenty days. And each of these months was dedicated to one god, or to two, and during it they held their feast. Each of these months they divided into five-day periods, and held the fairs on the last day of these five in one town, and five
