Reading edition
‘Eché toda la gente fuera de la ciudad por muchas partes della.’ Cortés, Cartas, 74. The statement of Bernal Diaz that the friendly priests were sent home, to be out of harm’s way, shows also that parts of the city were respected. See notes 17 and 23. ‘El marques mandaba que se guardasen de no matar mujeres ni niños.’ Tapia, Rel., in Icazbalceta, Col. Doc., ii. 576.
