de nuestro señor Dios todopoderoso, criador y gobernador de todos.
\nY quiéroos esforzar y saludar agora con dos o tres palabras que os quiero decir. Bien sabéis todos los que estáis presentes que yo soy electo señor por la voluntad de nuestro señor Dios, aunque indigno, y que por ventura, por no saber bien hacer mi oficio, Dios me quitará y pondrá a otro. Pero el tiempo que Dios tuviere por bien que yo tenga este su cargo, haré defectuosamente y groseramente lo que soy obligado para el buen regimiento deste vuestro reino, y no sin ofender muchas veces a nuestro señor Dios.
\n¡Oh, miserable de mí! ¡Oh, hombre sin ventura! Que muchas veces he ofendido a nuestro señor Dios por mi desventura y miseria. Y también juntamente con esto he ofendido a los principales y ilustres del reino que rigieron en él, que son mis antecesores y fueron lumbre y espejo, exemplo y doctrina para todo el reino, para toda la gente del reino. Truxeron siempre en su mano una gran hacha de lumbre muy clara para alumbrar a todos. Fueron prudentísimos y sapientísimos y animosísimos, puestos en este regimiento por nuestro señor Dios. No les dio nuestro señor Dios saber de niños o corazón de niños ni mutabilidad de niños. Hízolos poderosos y valientes para castigar los malos de su reino y
