para defender a su reino de sus enemigos. Adornólos finalmente de todas las cosas necesarias para su oficio. Fueron personas a quien él tenía conocidos por tales y fueron muy sus amigos y conocidos. A estos tales he yo succedido para echarlos en vergüenza y en afrenta en hacer mi oficio con muchos defectos. Éstos fueron los que comenzaron a fundar todo lo que agora está edificado. Fueron nuestros abuelos y bisabuelos y tartarabuelos de donde hemos venido y procedido. Fueron los que desmontaron y atalaron las muntañas y las sabanas para poblarnos donde estamos, y ellos primeramente tuvieron el cargo del regir y puseyeron el trono y estrado donde estuvieron, esperando la voluntad de nuestro señor Dios todos los días de su vida.
\n¡Oh, miserable de mí, hombre de poco entendimiento y de poco saber y de gente baxa! Que no convenía que yo fuese elegido para este oficio tan alto. Por ventura pasará sobre mí como sueño. En breve se acabará mi vida. O por ventura pasará algunos días y años que llevaré a cuestas esta carga que nuestros abuelos dexaron cuando murieron, grave y de muy gran fatiga, en quien hay causa de humilación más que de soberbia y altivez. Agora, ante que muera, si por venture Dios determinare de matarme, os quiero esfurzaz [sic] y consolar.
\nLo que principalmente encomiendo es que os apartéis de la borrachería, que no bebáis uctli,
