Colimits of representable functors

I'm trying to understand the proof "each functor $D \rightarrow \mathbf{Set}$ is a colimit of representable functors" in MacLane (CFWM), but like with all things Yoneda I'm having problems.

1.) After he takes $L$ to be vertex of some other cone over $M$ (say $\psi$), he says that we have $z$ and $z'$ s.t. $y^{-1} z = \psi_{(d,x)}$ and $y^{-1} z' = \psi_{(d',x')}$. But I lose him in the next part, where he claims that $z' = f z$ (I suppose this means $z' = L(f)(z)$). Why is this so?

2.) He then constructs $\theta_d$ that maps $x \in Kd$ to $z$ such that $y^{-1}z$ is in the cone of $L$. If you were to take $\eta \in D(d', u)$, then the following needs to hold: $$\theta_u \circ (y^{-1}x')_u (\eta) = (y^{-1}z')_u(\eta)$$ Why does this hold?

Thanks.

Note that there is a typo in that version of CWM: The diagram should be $$M:\mathcal{J}\to \textbf{Sets}^{\mathcal{D}}$$ instead of $$M:\mathcal{J}^{\mathcal{D}}\to \textbf{Sets}^{\mathcal{D}}$$ If you really want to learn the proof of this fact, I would recommend realizing it as a consequence of the fact that if $\mathcal{C}$ is a small category, $\mathcal{D}$ a cocomplete category and $F:\mathcal{C}\to\mathcal{D}$ a functor, then the functor \begin{eqnarray*} R:\mathcal{D}&\to&[\mathcal{C}^{\text{op}},\mathbf{Sets}]\\ D&\mapsto& R(D) \end{eqnarray*} where \begin{eqnarray*} R(D):\mathcal{C}^{\text{op}}&\to&\mathbf{Sets}\\ C&\mapsto& \text{Hom}_{\mathcal{D}}(F(C),D) \end{eqnarray*} has a left adjoint. Because it is a much more useful result with many other applications. And the proof is really quite similar in spirit to the one in CWM. So, two birds with one stone :)
