Reading edition
'Son celosissimosmos, y assi las aporrean mucho.' Gomara, Conq. Mex., fol. 317. We have seen in a former chapter, that Nezahualcoyotl put his dearest son to death for speaking lewdly to his father's concubine. See this volume, pp. 447, et seq.; see further concerning the character of the Mexicans, about whom the above remarks, though doubtless applicable to many other of the Nahua nations, are more particularly made: Esplicacion de la Coleccion de Mendoza, in Kingsborough's Mex.
