Y los dichos enfermos, estando muy penados y agraviados, aclamaban rogando y diciéndole: "¡Oh dios que os llamáis Titlacahuan, hacedme merced de me relevar y quitar esta emfermedad que me mata, que yo no haré otra cosa sino emendarme. Si yo fuere sano de esta enfermedad, hágoos un voto de os servir y buscar la vida; si yo ganare algo por mi trabajo, yo no lo comeré ni gastaré en otra cosa, sino que por os honrar haré una fiesta y banquete para bailar en esta pobre casa!"
\nY el enfermo desesperado que no podía sanar reñía enojado y decía: "¡Oh Titlacahuan, puto, hacéis burla de mí! ¿Por qué no me matáis?" Y algunos enfermos sanaban, y otros morían.
\nY el dicho Titlacahuan también se llamaba Tezcatlipuca y Moyocoyatzin y Yaotzin y Nécoc Yáutl y Nezahualpilli. Llamábanle Moyocoyatzin por razón que hacía todo cuanto quería y pensaba, y que ninguno le podía impedir y contradecir a lo que hacía, ni en el cielo ni en este mundo, y enriquecía a quien quería, y también daba pobreza y miseria a quien quería. Y más decían, que el día que fuere servido destruir y derribar el cielo, que lo haría, y los vivos se acabarían.
\nY al dicho Titlacahuan todos le adoraban y rogaban, y en todos los caminos y divisiones de calles le ponían un asiento hecho
