de haber aparejado todo lo necesario para el bateo, luego se juntaban todos los parientes y parietas del niño, viejos y viejas. Luego llamaban a la partera, que era la que baptizaba a la criatura que había parteado. Juntábanse todos muy de mañana, ante que saliese el Sol. Y en saliendo el Sol, ya estaba algo altillo, la partera demandaba un librillo nuevo, lleno de agua, y luego tomaba al niño entre ambas las manos, y luego tomaban los circunstantes todas las alhajuelas que estaban aparejadas para el baptismo, y poníanlas en el medio del patio de la casa. Y para baptizar el niño poníasela la partera la cara hacia el occidente, y luego comenzaba a hacer sus cerimonias, y comenzaba a decir: "¡Oh, águila! ¡Oh, tigre! ¡Oh, valiente hombre, nieto mío! Has llegado a este mundo. Hate enviado tu madre, tu padre, el gran señor y la gran señora. Fueste criado y engendrado en tu casa, que es el lugar de los dioses supremos, del gran señor y de la gran señora
