después de nuestra muerte puedas vivir honrada y entre personas honradas; porque andar a coger yerbas o a vender leña, o a vender axí verde, o sal, o salitre a los cantones de las calles, esto en ninguna manera te conviene, porque eres generosa y desciendes de gente noble y hidalga. Por ventura acontecerá lo que no pensamos y lo que nadie piensa, que alguno se aficionará a ti y te demandará. Y si no estás esperta en las cosas de tu oficio mujeril,¿qué será entonce? ¿No nos darán con ello en la cara, y no nos zaherirán, que no te enseñamos lo que era menester que supieses? Y si por ventura entonce ya fuéremos muertos yo y tu madre, murmurarán de nosotros porque no te enseñamos cuando vivíamos y dirán: "Mal siglo hayan, porque no enseñaron a su hija." Y tú provocarás contra ti riñas y maldiciones; tú serás causa de tu mal.
\nY si ya fueres diestra en lo que has de hacer, no habrá ocasión entonce de que nadie dé riña; no tendrá lugar la reprehensión. Entonce con razón seras loada y honrada, y tendrás presumpción, y te estimarás como si estuvieses en los estrados de los que por sus hazañas en la guerra merecieron honra. Presumirás de la rodela como los buenos soldados. Y si por ventura ya fueres diestra en tu
