ABSTRACT
Upon the 14 day of September missionary men left the town and port of St John de Ulhua, entering into the road to Mexico, which their found the first three or four leagues to be very sandy, as wide and open as is our road from London to St Albans. The waits and trumpets sounded again before us, and the chief of the town conducted us a mile forward, and so took their leaves. There are many towns about it of Indians; but what makes it rich are the many farms of sugar, and some which they call estancias, rich farms for breeding of mules and cattle; and likewise some farms of cochineal. In this town there is but one great church and an inferior chapel, both belonging to a cloister of Franciscan friars, wherein we were lodged that night and the next day, being the Lord's Day.
