[de]terminado en este negocio, si por ventura será digno de perseverar en su dignidad y reino? ¿O si por ventura de presto le será quitada la dignidad y honra del señorío y nuestro señor Dios se la da solamente a oler y a ver, y que em breve pase como sueño? ¿Por ventura mañana o esotro día se enojará dél nuestro señor Dios, que hace variar las cosas humanas y rige como le parece los reinos y señoríos? Y por ventura le quitará lo que le ha dado, el reino y la honra, que es propia suya y de ningún otro, y lo desechará para que viva em pobreza y en menosprecio, como en el estiércol y en la hez.1 Y si por ventura veniere sobre él lo que merecemos todos los hombres, que es enfermedad de ceguedad o tullimiento o muerte, y lo ponga debaxo de sus pies, enviándole al lugar donde habemos de ir todos, y de aquí entenderemos que no tiene Dios determinado que esté en honra ni en dignidad. ¡Bienaventurados los amigos y conocidos de Dios, que pacíficamente y con asosiego, y después de muchos días mueren en sus señoríos, en sus reinos! ¡Bienaventurados aquellos que con paz y asosiego viven y reinan en sus señoríos orando a Dios! ¡Bienaventurados aquellos que son gloria y fama de sus antepasados, padres y madres y abuelos y tartarabuelos,

has decided to do in this matter, whether [the new lord] will perhaps be worthy to persevere in his position and kingdom? Or whether the position and honor of his lordship will perhaps be suddenly taken away from him, our lord god will only let him have a whiff and a glimpse of it, and it will soon vanish like a dream? Will our lord god—who causes change in human affairs and who rules kingdoms and domains at his will—become angry at him perhaps tomorrow or the next day? And perhaps he will take away what he has given him—the kingdom and the honor, which are really his own property and no one else’s—and will cast him away to live in poverty and derision, as if in dung and feces. And if perhaps what all of us men deserve—that is, illness such as blindness, paralysis, or death—should befall him and [god] sets him under his feet and sends him to the place where all of us will go, we are to understand from this that god has not decided that he should remain in this honor and position. Blessed are god’s friends and acquaintances, who die peacefully and serenely after many years [of ruling] their domains, their kingdoms! Blessed are those who live and rule their domains in peace and tranquility by praying to god! Blessed are those who are the glory and fame of their ancestors, mothers, fathers, grandparents, and great-great-grandparents,
