chalchihuitles muy finos, largos como cañutos, y otros de otra manera, muy verdes y muy finos. Gozáis asimismo de un manoxito de plumas ricas, muy perfectamente compuesto y de perfecto color. Aquí estáis, estimados como padres deste niño. Gozad, pues, y sea vuestra riqueza esta piedra preciosa, este manoxito de plumas ricas, que es como un pedazo de piedra preciosa cortado de sus antepasados nobilísimos. Es su uña y su cabello. Teneos vosotros por padres de tal hijo; tened cuidado de noche de llorar y orar para que se críe; inportunad a nuestro señor con vuestras lágrimas; llamad devotamente a nuestro señor Dios que está en todo lugar, el cual hace todo lo que quiere y se burla con nosotros. ¿Qué será si nuestro señor envía sobre nosotros eclipsi o truenos? ¿Qué será si nos le viene a tomar nuestro señor? ¿Qué será si nuestro señor por quien vivimos nos envía lloro y tristeza? Aunque somos indignos, esperemos lo que agora soñamos, que el nuestro nieto vivirá. Esperemos, pues, lo que succederá mañana o esotro día, y qué es lo que querrá hacer el que le crió, cuyo él es. Con brevedad,
