"Tal día será convenible para esto, ce calli o ume xúchitl o ume ozomatli, etcétera." En uno destos días comenzaba su banquete el que había de hacer esta fiesta. Después que los viejos mercaderes principales habían dicho todo lo que convenía, despedíanse del mozo con estas palabras: "Hijo nuestro, ya hemos visto y entendido tu deseo y lo que pretendes, lo cual, con lágrimas, nos has significado. Avisámoste que no te ensoberbezcas ni altivezcas, ni desprecies a nadie. Ten reverencia a los viejos, aunque sean pobres, y a las viejas, aunque sean pobres, y a la otra gente baxa y pobre. Haz misericordia con ella; dales que vistan y con que se cubran, aunque sea lo que tú desechas; dales de comer y de beber, porque son imágines de Dios; por esto te acrecentará Dios los días de la vida, si vivieres largos días. Si no hicieres lo que te aconsejamos, cegarás o te tullegrás, o te pararás contrecho. Y esto tú mismo te lo buscarás, y Dios te lo dará; porque sus ojos penetran las piedras y los maderos; no te podrás asconder dél. Mira que no desees la mujer ajena, ni la hija ajena. Comienza a vivir bien. Con esto que hemos dicho cumplimos contigo. No más."
