rocks of the marquis. The battle of Cuernavac^. Three battles at 

 Suchimillco. The fiege of Mexico which lafted ninety three days, du- 

 ring which I was engaged, as I find by my account, in above eighty 

 battles and Ikirmifhes. After the conqueft when I was fent to pacify 

 the provinces of Guacacualco, Chiapa, and the Zapotecans. In Cha- 

 mula and Cuitlan, two engagements. In Teapa and Chimatan two 

 engagements ; here 1 was wounded badly in the throat. I forgot to 

 mention in its place, how, after our flight from Mexico we were pur- 

 fued for nine days, and fought four battles. In the Expedition to Hi- 

 gueras and Honduras, an adlion at Culacotu, where my horfe which 

 cofl me fix hundred crowns was killed. After my return to Mexico I 

 went againft the Zapotecans and Minxes in the mountains. I do not 

 mention numbcrlefs other engagements and dangers in which I have 

 been, as it would be endlefs to detail them all. Nor do I chufe to fay 

 how I was one of the firft who came to lay fiege to Mexico, three or 

 four days at leaft before Cortes. 



I have therefore according to this account been prefent in one hun- 

 dred and nineteen battles and engagements ; and it is not extraordinary 

 if I praife myfelf, as what I fay is the mere truth. Nor are thefe 

 old ftories or hiftories of Romans, of many ages paft; for evident 

 and true are the many and notable fervices which I have rendered ; firft 

 to God, then to his Majeily, and all Chriftendom; and I give thanks 

 and praifes to our Lord Jefus Chrift, that I efcaped from all dangers, to 

 make thefe things manifeft; and I alfo fay, and praife myfelf thereon, 



that I have been in as many battles and engagements aS, according to 



hiftory, the Emperor Henry the fourth.
