The king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants. And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel for thither the Syrians are come down. And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of, and saved himself there, not once nor twice. And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, a host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. In the occasion of war that Francisco Lopez de Gomara says that Francisco de Morla set out on a dapple gray horse before Cortes and the other horsemen arrived, and that the sainted apostles Senor Santiago and Senor San Pedro appeared.
