hijo mío muy estimado, que no te ensuberbezcas ni te altivezcas si por ventura fueres tomado para alguno de los oficios ya dichos. Por ventura Dios te llamará para alguno dellos; o por ventura te quedarás sin ninguno y vivirás como hombre común y popular. Y si fueres llamado y elegido para alguno destos oficios, otra y otra vez te encargo que no presumas de ti ni te estimes por grande y valeroso y principal, porque esto es cosa con que Dios mucho se enoja.
\nSi por ventura merecieres alguna dignidad, y por ventura merecieres ser a algo, si por ventura merecieres ser electo para algún oficio de los ya dichos, sé humilde y anda muy humilde y inclinado, y baxada la cabeza, y recogidos tus brazos, y date al lloro y a la devoción o tristeza, y a los suspiros, y a la subjectión de todos. Sé subjecto a todos y humilde a todos. Y nota, hijo mío, que esto que te he dicho de la humildad y subjectión y menosprecio de ti mismo ha de ser de corazón, delante Dios nuestro señor. Mira que no sea fingida tu humildad, porque entonce decirse ha de ti titoloxochton, que es "hipócrita". Decirse ya de ti también titlanixiquipile, que quiere decir "hombre fingido". Mira que nuestro señor Dios ve los corazones y ve todas las cosas secretas, por muy ascondidas que estén, y oye lo que revolvemos en nuestro corazón todos nosotros cuantos vivimos
