cada género dellos por sí, y los aprecia según su valor, sin engaño. Y los frisoles que vende son los que son nuevos, limpios, gordos, que no están dañados, sino tales que como cosa preciosa se pueden guardar en el arca o en la troxe, como son los frisoles amarillos, colorados, blancos, y los menuditos, y los que están como jaspeados, y de otras diversas colores, y los que son muy gordos, que son como habas, que se dicen en la lengua ayecotli. El que es mal tratante dellos engaña a los comprantes en vendérselos, porque siempre miente; y más, los que son buenos envuélvelos con los que están dañados o pudridos y comidos de corgojos.
\nEl que vende las semillas de cenizos vende las que son nuevas o las que son de dos o de tres años.
