This is payd in all Nova Hispania, of as many as be of the age of 200. yeeres, saving the Citie of Tlascalla, which was made free, because the citizens thereof were the occasion that Cortes tooke Mexico in so little a time.

There is another Island there by, called The island of sacrifices, whereas the Spanyards did in times past unlade their goods: and for that, they say, there are
