[es]critas en su corazón, y las tendrán guardadas en lo más íntimo de su corazón, pues que ya personalmente han visto y oído lo que se dixo y quién habló. Hagan lo que les pareciere. Tengo por averiguado que sea aprovecharán desta doctrina y con ella aprovecharán a su entendimiento y a su voluntad y a su ser y a su vida, y haciendo esto podrán parecer dondequiera, y aun ganar honra y hacienda. Y si por ventura tuvieren en poco y menospreciaren esta tan preciosa doctrina, allá se lo hayan. Será señal que están desechados y que Dios los tiene menospreciados, y ya para con ellos está hecho el deber, porque vos, señor, habéis complido con vuestra dignidad y oficio real. Y los que no sienten esto, irán como ciegos a dar de cabezadas por los rincones y por las paredes, y irán a cayer en las barrancas, y entonce cuando vieren sus caídas y sus yerros y desvaríos comenzarán a acordarse de vuestras preciosísimas palabras, y dirán: "¡Oh, desventurados de nosotros! Pluguiera a Dios que nunca hobiéramos oído lo que oímos, ni se nos hobiera dicho
