####Capítulo XXXVIII del baptismo de las niñas, en cuanto toca algunas particulares cerimonias que se hacían cuando la primera vez la partera ponía a la criatura, que era en acabándola de baptizar y de las palabras que entonce decía
\nEl baptismo de las hembras es conforme a lo que arriba se dixo de los varones. Buscan el signo en que nacen, y también en el medio del patio los baptizan en un librillo nuevo, a la hora que se dixo. Hay, empero, algunas cosas que difieren del baptismo de los varones, porque a las hembras aparejan las vestiduras de hembras, y las alhajas que usan las mujeres, como es una petaquilla, y su huso y lanzadera, etcétera. Todo se lo ponen junto en el medio del patio, cerca del apaztli nuevo en que la baptizan. Y levántala hacia el cielo, y luego toma el agua con los dedos y se le da a gustar, y después se la pone en los pechos, y después la echa sobre la cabeza y háblala
