Por ventura se criará y vivirá. Y es varón: no conviene que le mostremos oficios de mujer teniéndole en casa. Por tanto, os le damos por vuestro hijo, y os le encargamos porque tenéis cargo de criar a los muchachos y mancebos, mostrándoles las costumbres para que sean hombres valientes y para que sirvan a los dioses Tlaltecuhtli y Tonátiuh, que son la Tierra y el Sol, en la pelea. Y por esto ofrecémosle al señor dios todopoderoso Yáotl, o por otro nombre Titlacahua o Tezcatlipuca. Por ventura se criará y vivirá placiendo a Dios. Entrará en la casa de penitencia y de lloro que se llama telpuchcalli. Desde agora os le entregamos para que more en aquella casa donde se crían y salen hombres valientes. Porque en este lugar se merecen los tesoros de Dios orando y haciendo penitencia y pidiendo a Dios que les haga misericordia y merced de darles vitorias, para que sean principales, teniendo habilidad para gobernar y regir la gente baxa. Y nosotros, padres indignos, ¿por ventura merecerá nuestro lloro y nuestra penitencia
