aconteció porque alguno nos quiere mal o hacer burla de nosotros? Es por cierto porque así lo quiso nuestro señor que éste fuese su fin. ¿Quién puede hacer que una hora o un día sea alargada a nuestra vida presente en este mundo? Pues que esto es así, tened paciencia para sufrir los trabajos desta vida presente, y la casa donde éste vivía esperando la voluntad de Dios, esté yerma y oscura de aquí adelante, y no tengáis más esperanza de ver a vuestro defuncto. No conviene que os fatiguéis mucho por la huerfanidad y pobreza que os queda. Esforzaos, hijo. No os mate la tristeza. Nosotros hemos venido aquí a os visitar y a consolar con estas pocas palabras, como nos conviene hacer a nosotros, que somos padres viejos, porque ya nuestro señor llevó a los otros que eran más viejos y antiguos, los cuales sabían mejor decir palabras consolatorias a los tristes. Y con esto ponemos fin a nuestra plática los que somos vuestros padres y madres. Quedaos a Dios."
