Luego hacía un hoyo en medio del patio, y allí enterraba las cenizas de los papeles que se habían quemado, así dentro de casa como fuera, y cogía la ceniza del papel de tal manera que no tomaba nada de la otra ceniza del fuego, ni tampoco alguna tierra del soelo. Esto todo que se ha dicho se hacía a la media noche. Y en amaneciendo, luego enviaba a llamar a los principales mercaderes, capitanes disimulados, y a los otros ricos mercaderes que trataban en comprar y vender esclavos. Y también juntaba a los mancebos y a las viejas, y a las otras mujeres sus tías; y después que todos estaban juntos, lavábanse las manos y las bocas. Esto hecho, ponían delante de cada uno comida. Acabando de comer, todos lavábanse otra vez las manos y bocas, y luego les ponían delante sus xícaras de cacao, y bebían, y luego les ponían delante las cañas de humo para chupar.
