El mal procurador es interesal, gran pedigüeño, y de malicia suele dilatar los negocios. Hace alharacas, muy negligente y descuidado en el pleito, y fraudulento, y tal que de entrambas partes lleva salario.
\nEl solicitador nunca para; anda siempre solícito y listo. El buen solicitador es muy cuidadoso, determinado y solícito en todo. Y por hacer bien su oficio muchas veces dexa de comer y de dormir, y anda de casa en casa, solicitado los negocios, los cuales trata de buena tinta y con temor o recelo que por su descuido no tengan mal succeso los negocios. El mal solicitador es floxo y descuido, lerdo y encandilador, y suele detener el proceso por sacar dineros, y fácilmente se dexa cohechar porque no hable más en el negocio, o que mienta, y ansí suele echar a perder los pleitos.
