Principal English Translation:

for the province or the land to fill up; or, the divine word; or, to arrive at all places; or the preaching of the gospel (see Molina); here, altepetl is used in the sense of "across the land" or "on Earth;" and the verb mana, as in "to settle a town" or "to found a town" is worth considering here
