\nEl oficial de plumas se cuenta entre los mercaderes. Y el que es buen oficial tiene en mucho las plumas y las trata y guarda muy bien. Su oficio es vender plumas estimadas de todos géneros de aves, de todas colores, las plumas muy verdes y las que son muy preciadas, que tienen corvada la punta, y las que relumbran, haciendo unas aguas como tornasol. Y el que no es tal, hace plumas falsas, y las viejas, nuevas con colores falsas, color pardilla o deslavada y blanquisco, color postiza; al fin, color falsa.
\nEl que rescata con plata es mercader y tiene hacienda y oro y plata. El que bien rescata sabe el valor del oro y plata conforme al peso y quilates, y es diligente y solícito en su oficio, y en el pesar no defrauda, antes pone más que quita en el peso.
