Después de haber escrito las habilidades y oficios que estos naturales mexicanos tenían en tiempo de su infidelidad, y los vicios y virtudes que entre ellos eran tenidas por tales, parecióme cónsono a razón poner aquí los oficios y habilidades, vicios y virtudes que después acá han adquirido. Cuanto a lo primero, tenemos por experiencia que en los oficios mecánicos son hábiles para deprenderlos y usarlos, según que los españoles los saben y usan, como son: oficios de geumetría, que es edificar, los entienden y hacen como los españoles;

\nAfter having written about the skills and trades that these native Mexicans had during the time of their faithlessness, and [about] the vices and virtues that were considered as such among them, it seemed reasonable to me to present here the skills and trades, vices and virtues that they have since acquired here. In regard to the first, we know from experience that they are capable of learning and using the mechanical skills much in the same way that the Spaniards know and use them, such as geometric trades, which pertain to construction and which they understand and practice just like the Spaniards;
\nThe text of this account does not correspond to the parallel Nahuatl text. Nevertheless, Sahagún keeps the paragraph headings of the Nahuatl column, even as they interrupt his own text. See note at LAGQ, 2:921.↩
After having written of the talents and skills these native Mexicans possessed in the time of their unbelief and of the vices and virtues which were considered as such among them, it seemed to me con-\nsistent with reason to set forth here the skills and talents, vices and virtues which they have subsequently acquired.
\nAs for the first, we know from experience that they are capable of learning and practicing the mechanical skills just as the Spaniards know them and practice them. For instance, they understand and perform the geometric skills, that is, construction, like the Spaniards;
\nThis treatise by Sahagún is in lieu of a Spanish translation or Spanish text for Chapter 27. Although the paragraph headings are translated into Spanish, the Nahuatl text remains untranslated. This treatment by Sahagún is parallel to paragraphs 1 through 9 of the Nahuatl text.↩
Despues de auer escrito las habilidades, y officios, que estos naturales mexicanos, tenjan en tiempo de su infidelidad, y los vicios, y virtudes, que entre ellos, eran tenjdas por tales: pareciome consono a razon, poner aquj los officios, y abilidades, vicios y virtudes, que despues aca an aqujrido.
\nQuanto a lo primero: tenemos por experiencia, que en los officios, mecanjcos, son abiles para deprenderlos, y vsarlos segun, que los españoles los saben, y vsan: como son; officios de geumetria, que es edificar, los entienden y hazen, como los españoles
