Señor nuestro, humanísimo, piadosísimo, amparador y defensor, invisible y inpalpable, por cuyo albedrío y sabiduría somos regidos y gobernados, debaxo de cuyo imperio vivimos, señor de las batallas, es cosa muy cierta y averiguada que comienza a fabricarse, ordenarse y formarse y concertarse gran guerra.

Here are related the words which they uttered from their very hearts as they prayed to Tezcatlipoca, whom they named Yaotl, Necoc yaotl,[^1] Monenequi,[^2] to request aid when war was waged. Those who so prayed were the priests. Very good are the metaphors, the figures of speech, with which they spoke.
