A este dios llamado Macuilxóchitl teníanle por dios, como el arriba dicho, que es el dios del fuego. Era más particular dios de los que moraban en las casas de los señores o en los palacios de los principales. A honra deste dios hacian fiesta, y su fiesta se llamaba xochílhuitl, la cual fiesta se contaba entre las fiestas movibles que están en el Cuarto Libro, que trata del arte adivinatoria.
\nCuatro días antes desta fiesta ayunaban todos los que la celebraban, así hombres como mujeres. Y si algún hombre en el tiempo deste ayuno tenía acceso a mujer, o alguna mujer a hombre durante el dicho ayuno, decían que ensuciaba su ayuno, y este dios se ofendía mucho desto, y por esto hería con enfermedades de las partes secretas a los que tal hacían, como son almorranas, pudredumbre del miembro secreto, deviesos y incordios, etcétera. Y porque tenían entendido que estas enfermedades eran castigos deste dios, por la causa arriba dicha, hacíanle votos y prometimientos para que se aplacase y cesase de afligir con aquellas enfermedades.
\nCuando llegaba esta fiesta deste dios, que se llamaba xochílhuitl, que quiere decir "la fiesta de las flores", como dicho es, ayunaban todos cuatro dias. Algunos no comian chilli o axí,
