oficio como el soldado en el exercicio de la guerra, entonce, donde estuvieres, acordarse han de nosotros y nos bendicirán y honrarán por tu causa. Y si por ventura no hicieres nada bien de lo que has de hacer, maltratarte han, apalearte han, y por ti se dirá que con dificultad te lavarás, o que no tendrás tiempo para rascar la cabeza.
\nDestas dos cosas sólo Dios sabe cuál te ha de caber y para cuál dellas te tiene, o que siendo diligente y sabia en tu oficio seas amada y tenida, o que siendo perezosa y negligente y boba seas maltratada y aborrecida.
\nMira, hija mía, que notes muy bien lo que agora te quiero decir. Mira que no deshonres a tus pasados ni siembres estiércol y polvo encima de sus pinturas, que significan sus buenas obras y fama. Mira que no los infames. Mira que no te des al deleite carnal. Mira que no te arrojes sobre el estiércol y hediondez de la luxuria. Y si has de venir a esto, más valdría que te murieses luego. Mira, hija mia, que muy poco a poco vayas aprovechando en las cosas que te tengo dicho. Porque si pluguiere a nuestro señor que alguno te quisiere y te pida, no le deseches, no menosprecies la voluntad de nuestro señor, porque él le envía. Recíbele, tómale, no te escuses, no deseches,
