deste tan gran beneficio, conviene que respondáis con lloros y con oraciones devotas a nuestro señor que está en todo lugar. Suspirad y llorad hasta saber su volumtad: si por ventura vivirá esta piedra preciosa y esta pluma rica de que agora hablamos, como soñando, la cual no sabemos si crecerá y se criará, y si vivirá algunos días o años, o si será imagen y retrato, y honra y fama de los viejos y viejas que ya pasaron, de los cuales desciende. No sabemos si por ventura resucitará la suerte y levantará la cabeza de sus abuelos y abuelas.
\nDeseo, señores míos, que veáis y en vuestra presencia acontezca, y con vuestros ojos contempléis en qué estado le pondrá nuestro señor. No sabemos si nuestro señor nos ha dado una mazorca de maíz aneblada, de que no hay provecho ninguno. No sabemos si es una cosa inuntil lo que nos ha dado. No sabemos si tamanito y ternecito como agua lo llevarán nuestro señor para sí, y lo llamará, y vendrá por él el que lo hizo. Señoras mías,
