[e]chando cuatro veces sangre hacia el oriente con el dedo como está dicho. Lo mismo hacía hacia el occidente, que ellos llaman cihuatlampa. Luego se volvía hacia el norte, que dicen ser la mano izquierda del mundo, a donde llaman huitznahuacatlalpan, y por otro vocablo, mictlampa. Hecho esto volvíase hacia el mediodía, que dicen ser la mano derecha del mundo y llámanla mimixcóah intlalpan. Echaban cuatro veces la sangre, como arriba se dixo; allí acababa de echar sangre. Después de acabado de echar la sangre hacia las partes ya dichas, salpicaban los papeles con sangre que estaban ordenados en el patio. Hecho esto, entrábase otra vez dentro de casa, delante del fuego, y hablábale, diciéndole desta manera: "Vive muchos años, noble señor, Tlalxicteticaé, Nauhyotecatlé." Éstos son nombres del fuego, que están en vocativo. Decía: "Señor, ruégoos que recibáis pacíficamente esta vuestra ofrenda, y perdóname si en algo os he ofendido." Dicho esto, ponía los papeles que estaban dedicados al fuego sobre las brasas, y luego echaba copal blanco, que se llama tzihuaccopalli, muy derecho, y muy olo[roso]
