La suegra hace de su parte para con sus hijos todo lo que se dixo del suegro. La buena suegra guarda a su nuera y célala con discreción.
\nLa mala suegra huelga que su nuera dé mala cuenta de sí. Es desperdiciadora de lo suyo y de lo ajeno. Es infiel a su nuera.
\nEl padre señor o padre de suegro tiene todas las condiciones que se dixeron del suegro. El buen señor es rico. Tiene muchas que con su trabajo ha ganado.
\nEl ruin padre señor es pobre, es mezquino, es desaprovechado. Nunca sale de laceria.
\nLa madre señora, madre del suegro o suegra, tiene las condiciones de la suegra. La buena madre señora es vieja honrada, amable, venerable. La ruin madre señora daña y perjudica así, y a los suyos dexa deudas hechas que después paguen sus succesores.
\nEl yerno es mancebo casado. Es esento de la orden de los tlamacazques y telpuchtles. El buen yerno es honrado y reverenciador y amador de sus suegros. El ruin yerno es desvergonzado, arañador o codicioso. Hurta de la casa de su suegro lo que puede. Es amancebado.
\nLa nuera es pedida. Es mujer legítima. La buena nuera no es parlera
