¡Oh, hombre sabio y venerable! Por cierto vos habéis dicho palabras muy preciosas y de grande estima, las cuales dexaron muy guardadas y atesoradas como cosa muy preciosa los señores y reyes que nos precedieron, porque son palabras de madres y padres de la república, preciosas como piedras ricas que se llaman chalchihuites y zafiros y otras piedras preciosas. Habéislas muy bien pronunciado en presencia de nuestro señor y rey muy amado N, el cual es reliquia de los señores y principales que pasaron. Hase enderezado vuestra oración para esforzarle y animarle para el oficio que le ha sido dado, y también para honrarle conforme al estado que tiene. Este servicio y esta honra no la echará en olvido el señor N si no fuere que luego al principio de su reino le saque nuestro señor deste mundo y le ponga entre las nieblas y tinieblas de la muerte. Y si por ventura tuviere Dios por bien que este pobrecito dure algunos años
