Dexáronnos dicho los antiguos que en la niñez y en la juventud hace Dios mercedes, da dones. En este mesmo tiempo señala a los que han de ser señores, reyes y gobernadores o capitanes. También en el tiempo de la niñez y adolescencia da Dios sus riquezas y sus delectaciones. En el tiempo de la adolescencia y simplicidad se merece la buena muerte.
\nNota, hijo mío, lo que te digo. Mira que el mundo ya tiene este estilo de engendrar y multiplicar, y para esta generación y multiplicatión ordenó Dios que una mujer usase de un varón, y un varón de una mujer; pero esto conviene se haga con templanza y con discreción. No te arrojes a la mujer como el perro se arroja a lo que ha de comer; no te hayas a manera de perro en comer y tragar lo que le dan, dándote a las mujeres ante de tiempo. Aunque tengas apetito de mujer, resístete; resiste a tu corazón hasta que ya seas hombre perfecto y recio. Mira que el maguey, si lo abren de pequeño para quitarle la miel, ni tiene sustancia ni da miel, sino piérdese. Ante que abran al maguey para sacarle la miel le dexan crecer
