Y por esta causa los viejos con mucha razón dixeron: "No se escapa nadie de las descendidas y subidas deste mundo, y de los turbellinos y tempestades que en él hay, o de las falsedades y solazamientos y dobleces y falsas palabras que en él hay. Muy engañoso es este mundo. Ríese de unos, gózase con otros, burla y escarnece de otros. Todo está lleno de mentiras. No hay verdad en él. De todos escarnece."

Estos, que fueron muy grandes señores y tuvieron la dignidad del reino y senado, no se ensuberbecieron ni se engrieron, mas antes se humillaron y anduvieron encorva[dos]
