con vuestros principales y cortesanos, porque muchos tienen envidia a los señores y reyes por tener lo que tienen y comer lo que comen y beberlo lo que beben. Y por eso se dice que los reyes y señores comen pan de dolor. No penséis, señor, que el estado real y el trono y dignidad que es deleitoso y placentero, que no es sino de grande trabajo y de grande aflictión y de gran penitencia.
\n¡Oh, bienaventurado señor nuestro, persona muy preciosa! No quiero dar pena ni enojo a vuestro corazón. No quiero caer en vuestra ira y indignación. Bástame los defectos que he hecho, y las veces que he tropezado y resbalado, y aun caído, en esta plática que tengo dicha. Bástenme las faltas y defectos que hablando he hecho yendo a saltos de rana delante de nuestro señor, invisible y inpalpable, el cual está presente y nos está escuchando, y ha oído muy por el cabo todas las palabras que he pronunciado y inperfectamente y como balbociendo, tartamodeando y con mala orden y con mal aire. Pero con lo hecho he complido con lo que son obligados los viejos y ancianos de la república para con sus señores recién electos. Ansimismo he complido con lo que debo a nuestro señor, el cual está presente y lo oye. Y a él se lo ofrezco y presento.
\n¡Oh, señor nuestro
