[mí]ranle con malos ojos por ser público pecador, y todos le maldicen por ser soberbio y vagamundo y por andar perdido y desobediente a lo que se mandaba y aconsejaba, y porque no cura de la buena crianza.
\nY la criatura que nacía en buen signo decían los padres y madres: "Nuestra criatura es bien afortunada y tiene buen signo, que se llama cipactli." Luego le baptizaban y le daban el nombre del signo, llamándole Cípac, o le daban otro nombre de los agüelos, etcétera. Y si les parecía, pasaban el baptismo a otro día que fuese de mejor fortuna dentro del mesmo signo.
\nY si la criatura que nacía era varón, cuando le baptizaban hacíanle una rodela pequeña con cuatro saetillas, y ataban a ellas el umbligo, y dábanlo todo junto a los hombres soldados para que lo llevasen al lugar de la pelea, y allí lo enterraban. Y si la criatura que nacía era mujer, cuando le baptizaban le ponían en el lebrillo todas las alhajas de mujer con que hilan y texen, porque la vida de la mujer es criarse en casa y estar y vivir en ella. El umbligo enterrábanle junto al hogar.
