\nDicho esto, luego le daba a gustar el agua, llegándole los dedos mujados a la boca, y decía desta manera: "Toma, recibe. Ves aquí con que has de vivir sobre la tierra para que crezcas y reverdezcas. Ésta es por quien tenemos y nos mereció las cosas necesarias para que podamos vivir sobre la tierra. Recíbela."

Recíbela. Tenga ella por bien de purificar y limpiar tu corazón." Después desto echábale el agua sobre la cabeza, diciendo: "¡Oh, nieto mío, hijo mío! Recibe y toma el agua del señor del mundo, que es nuestra vida, y es para que nuestro cuerpo crezca y reverdezca. Es para lavar, para limpiar. Ruego que entre en tu cuerpo y allí viva esta agua celestial azul y azul clara. Ruego
