en el regimiento de su reino y fueren dignos de tenerle por algunos años sus vasallos, como a manera de sueño, él lo gratificará y aun lo tendrá en la memoria para regirse a sí mismo como conviene. Y si por ventura, porque el estado de los señores es muy peligroso y los tronos y estrados reales tienen grandes resbaladeros y grandes dificultades, por razón de las palabras duras de los envidiosos y de las saetas o dardos de palabras que arrojan los ambiciosos, que son así como bramidos que vienen de los pueblos y reinos circunstantes, donde están muchos amenazando y amagando con piedras y dardos de palabras soberbias y invidiosas, le hicieren olvidar unas cosas tan raras y tan necesarias y tam preciosas y tan dignas de ser encomendadas a la memoria, hará de su daño. Y si lo guardare y encomendare a la memoria, y si se aprovechare dello, a él le vendrá el provecho, que ya está puesto en el juego de la pelota, y le han puesto guantes de cuero y cincho de cuero para herir a la pelota, para que la vuelva al que se la arrojó en el juego, porque el negocio del regir es bien semejante al juego de la pelota y al juego de los dados.
