La que es mala médica usa de la hechicería supersticiosa en su oficio, y tiene pacto con el Demonio, e sabe dar bebedizos con que mata a los hombres. E por no saber bien las curas, en lugar de sanar enferma y empeora, y aun pone en peligro de la vida a los enfermos, y al cabo los mata. Y ansí engaña a las gentes con su hechicería, soplando a los enfermos, atando y desatando sutilmente a los cordeles, mirando en el agua, echando los granos gordos del maíz que suele usar en su superstición, diciendo que por ello entiende y conoce las enfermedades. E para mostrar bien su superstición, da a entender que de los dientes saca gusanos, y de las otras partes del cuerpo, papel, pedernal, navaja de la tierra, sacando todo lo cual dice que sana a los enfermos, siendo ello falsedad y superstición notoria.
