natural es docible y remeda a los buenos y es exemplar. La persona noble incapaz es escandalosa, disimulada, alocada y muy entonada. La persona noble de buena ralea es elocuente o humilde en su habla, blando y afable a todos, bien acondicionado y querido de todos. La tal persona es mansa, pacífica y humilde, y tiene buen bonete. Y la que no es tal, digo, la que es mala, es desagradecida, soberbia y loca.
\nLa perso[na] de buen solar es de buena condición, de blanda palabra y de buena vida. La tal persona se conduele o se compadece de los trabajos ajenos; es muy sosegada en el hablar. Y la que es mala, es parlera, dura en hablar, prolixa y porfiada; al fin, tal que con sus voces quiere espantar y salir con la suya.
