Cuando al ofertorio estábamos, ninguna blanca en la concha caía que no era de él registrada. Él un ojo tenía en la gente y el otro en mis manos. Bailábanle los ojos en el casco como si fueran de azogue. Cuantas blancas ofrecían tenía por cuenta; y acabado el ofrecer, luego me quitaba la concha y la ponía sobre el altar.
