Hoy, día bienaventurado, ha salido el Sol; hanos alumbrado; hanos comunicado su claridad y su resplandor, en que se ha labrado una piedra preciosa, un precioso zafiro. Hanos aparecido una nueva lumbre; hanos llegado una nueva claridad; hásenos dado una hacha muy resplandeciente que ha de regir y gobernar nuestro pueblo, y ha de tomar a cuestas los negocios y trabajos de nuestra república. Ha de ser imagen y sustituto de los señores y gobernadores que ya pasaron desta vida, los cuales algunos días trabajaron en llevar a cuestas las pesadumbres desta vuestra gente y vinieron a poseer vuestro trono y vuestra silla, que es la principal dignidad deste vuestro pueblo y provincia y reino, la cual tuvieron y poseyeron en vuestro nombre y en vuestra persona algunos pocos días. Ya son idos, ya pasaron desta vida y dexaron aquella gran carga que truxeron a cuestas, carga de gran peso y de gran fatiga y que pocos la pueden sufrir. Y agora estamos maravillados cómo has puesto tus ojos en este hombre rústico y de poco saber, N, para que algunos días o algún poco tiempo tenga el gobierno de vuestra república y de vuestro pueblo, provincia o reino.
\n¡Oh, señor nuestro humanísimo! ¿Tenéis por ventura falta de personas y de amigos? No, por cierto, que tantos
