\nIban todos ordenados en dos rencles, como cuando van en procesión, acompañándola; pero los parientes de la moza iban en torno della en tropel, y todos llevaban los ojos puestos en ella. Y los que estaban a la mira por las calles, decían a sus hijas: "¡Oh, bienaventurada moza! Mírala, mírala cual va. Bien parece que ha sido obediente a sus padres y ha tomados sus consejos. Tú nunca tomas los consejos y palabras que se te dicen para tu provecho. Las palabras y consejos que se te dicen todas las entiendes al revés y no las pones por obra. Esta moza que ahora se casa con esta honra bien parece que es bien criada y bien doctrinada, y tomó bien los consejos y doctrinas de sus padres y madres.
