pobrecitos por que sean afligidos y muertos de hambre? Ningunas ofensas han hecho, ni saben qué cosa es pecar, ni han ofendido a los dioses del Cielo ni a los del Infierno. Y si nosotros hemos ofendido en muchas cosas y nuestras ofensas han llegado al Cielo y al Infierno, y los hedores de nuestros pecados se han dilatado hasta los fines de la tierra, justo es que seamos destruidos y acabados. Ni tenemos qué decir, ni con qué nos escusar, ni con qué resistir a lo que está determinado contra nosotros en el Cielo y en el Infierno. Hágase. Perdámonos todos. Y esto con brevedad, porque no suframos tan prolixa fatiga, que más grave es lo que padecemos que si estuviésemos en el fuego quemándonos. Cierto, es cosa espantable sufrir la hambre, que es así como una culebra que con deseo de comer está tragando la saliva y está carleando, demandando de comer, y está voceando porque le den comida. Es cosa espantable ver el agonía que tiene demandando de comer. Es esta hambre tan intensa como un fuego encendido que está echando de sí chispas o centellas.
\nHágase, señor, lo que muchos años ha que oímos decir a los viejos y viejas que pasaron: caya sobre nos el Cielo y desciendan los demonios del aire llama[dos]
