mucho valor, porque pensaron que venía Quetzalcóatl, al cual ellos estaban esperando muchos años había. Porque fue señor desta tierra, y fuese diciendo que volvería, y nunca más pareció, y hasta hoy le esperan. Tomó don Hernando Cortés el presente que llevaban los mensajeros de Motecuzuma.
\nDespués de haber pasado muchas cosas a la orilla de la mar, comenzaron los españoles a entrar la tierra adentro. Saliéronlos a recebir de guerra gran muchedumbre de gente de Tlaxcalla, a los cuales llamaban otomíes, por ser valientes en la guerra, que son como los tudescos que mueren y no huyen. Comenzaron a pelear con los españoles, y como no sabían el modo de pelear de los españoles, murieron casi todos, y algunos pocos huyeron. Espantáronse deste negocio mucho los de Tlaxcalla, y luego despacharon sus mensajeros, gente muy principal, con mucha comida y con todas las cosas necesarias para la recreación de los españoles. Y fueron luego los españoles hacia Tlaxcalla, donde fueron recebidos de paz. Y allí descansaron algunos días, y se informaron de las cosas de México y del señor della, Motecuzoma. Y de ahí se partieron los españoles para Cholulla. Y llegados, hicieron gran matanza en los de Cholulla. Como oyó estas cosas Motecuzuma y los mexica[nos]
