Althoughe these twentie names serue for the whole yere, and are but the dayes of euery moneth, yet therfore euery moneth beginneth not with Cipactli, which is the first name, but as they followe in order, and the fiue odde dayes is the cause thereof. And also bycause theyr wéeke is of thirtéene dayes, which changeth the names, as by example, Cecipactli can go no further thā vnto Matlactlomeiacatl, which is thirtéene, and then beginneth an other wéeke: and we do not say Matlactlinaui Ocelotl, whiche is the fourtéenth day, but we say Ceocelotl whiche is one, and then recken the other sixe names, vnto twenty. And when al the twentie dayes are ended, begin againe to recken from the first name of the twentie, but not frō one, but from viij. And bicause ye may better vndrestand the matter, here is the example.
- Cecipactli.
- Omehecatl.
- Ei Calli.
- Naui Cuezpali.
- Macuilcouatl.
- Chicoacen Mizquinth.
- Chicome Macatl.
- Chicuei Tochtli.
- Chiconauiatl.
- Matlaciz Cuintli.
- Mailactlioce Ocumatli.
- Matlactliome Malinalli.
- Matlactlomei Acatlh.
The next wéeke following doth begin his dayes from one. And that one is the fouretéenth name of the moneth and of the dayes, and saith.
- Ceocelotl.
- Omecoautli.
- Eicozcaquahutli.
- Naui Olui.
- Macuil Tecpatl.
- Chicoacen Quiauitl.
- Chicome Xuchitl.
- Chicoei Cipactli.
In this second wéeke, Cipactli came to fal on the eighte day, being in the first wéeke the first day.
- Cemacatl.
- Ometochtli.
- Eiatl.
- Nauizi cunitli.
- Macuil Ocumatli.
And so proceede on to the thirde wéeke, in the which this name Cipactli entreth not, but Macatl, which was the seuenth day in the first wéeke, & had no place in ye second, and is the first in the third. This reconing is no darker, than ours, which we haue in a.b.c.d.e.f.g. For they also change with time, and runne in such sort, that .a. whiche was the firste letter of this moneth, commeth to be the fift daye of the nexte moneth, and the thirde moneth he counteth to be the third day, and so orderly doth the other sixe letters.
