que te amo mucho, que eres mi querida hija. Acuérdate que te truxe en mi vientre nueve meses, y desque naciste criástete en mis brazos. Yo te ponía en la cuna, y de allí en mi regazo, y con mi leche te crié. Esto te digo porque sepas que yo y tu padre somos los que te engendramos, madre y padre, y agora te hablamos doctrinándote. Mira que tomes nuestras palabras y las guardes en tu pecho.
\nMira que tus vestidos sean honestos y como conviene. Mira que note atavíes con cosas curiosas y muy labradas, porque esto significa fantasaría y poco seso y locura. Tampoco es menester que tus atavíos sean muy viles, o sucios o rotos, como son los de la gente baxa, porque estos atavíos son señal de gente vil y de quien se hace burla. Tus vestidos sean honestos y limpios, de manera que ni parezcas fantástica ni vil. Y cuando hablares, no te apresurarás en el habrar; no con desasosiego, sino poco a poco y asosegadamente. Cuando hablares, no alzarás la voz ni hablarás
