ABSTRACT

The place most remarkable in the road wherein christian missionaries travelled was the city called by the Spaniards La Puebla de los Angeles, the City of Angels. The chief town between this City of Angels and Mexico is called Guacocingo, consisting of some five hundred Indians and one hundred Spaniards inhabitants. Cortez was strong both with Spaniards and Indians; and his court at Texcoco was as great or greater than Montezuma's formerly had been at Mexico. That which maketh it most famous is the cloth which is made in it, and is sent far and near, and judged to be as good as the cloth of Segovia, which is the best that is made in Spain, but is not so much esteemed of nor sent so much from Spain to America by reason of the abundance of fine cloth which is made in this City of Angels.
