para enderezar la criatura si por ventura estaba mal puesta. Y volvíala de una parte a otra. Y si por ventura la partera se hallaba mal dispuesta, o era muy vieja, otra por ella encendía el fuego. Después de sacada del baño, la palpaba la barriga, y esto hacía muchas veces aun fuera del baño. Y éste se llamaba "palpar a secas". Y porque es costumbre que los que se bañan los hieran las espaldas con hojas de maíz cocidas en la misma agua del baño, esto mandaba algunas veces la partera que no se hiciese cuando se bañaba la preñada. También mandaba algunas veces que no se calentase mucho el agua, porque decía que había peligro de escalentarse o tostase la criatura si estaba el agua muy caliente, y ansí se pegaría, de manera que no podría bien nacer. Por esta causa mandaba que no golpeasen en las espaldas, ni el agua fuese muy caliente, porque no peligrase la criatura.
