[i] Esta é como a omagen de Santa Maria, que un [b]mouro[/b] guardava en sa casa onrradamente, deitou leite das tetas Porque ajan de seer seus miragres mais sabudos da Virgen, deles fazer vai ant’ omees descreudos. E dest’ avẽo assi como vos quero contar dun mouro, com’ aprendí, que con ost’ en Ultramar grande foi, segund’ oý, por crischãos guerrejar e roubar, que non eran percebudos. Porque ajan de seer… Aquel [b]mouro[/b] astragou as térras u pod’ entrar, e todo quanto robou feze-o sigo levar; e mui ledo sse tornou a ssa térra, e juntar foi e dar os roubos que ouv’ avudos. Porque ajan de seer… Daquel aver que partiu foi en pera ssi fillar hua omagen que vyu da Virgen que non á par; e pois la muito cousyu, feze-a logo alçar e guardar en panos d’ ouro teçudos. Porque ajan de seer… E ameude veer a ýa muit’ e catar; pois fillava-ss’ a dizer ontre ssi e rezõar que non podía creer que Deus quisess’ encarnar nen tomar carn’ en moller. «E perdudos Porque ajan de seer… Son quantos lo creer van, diss’ el, ca non poss’ osmar que quisesse tal afán prender Deus nen ss’ abaxar, que el que éste tan gran se foss’ en corp’ ensserrar nen andar ontre poboos miudos, Porque ajan de seer… Como dizen que andou pera o mundo salvar; mas se de quant’ el mostrou foss’ a mi que quer mostrar, faria-me logo sou crischão, sen detardar, e crismar con estes [b]mouros[/b] barvudos». Porque ajan de seer… Adur pod’ esta razón toda o mour’ encimar, quand’ á omagen enton viu duas tetas a par, de viva carn’ e d’ al non, que foron logo mãar e deitar leite come per canudos. Porque ajan de seer… Quand’ esto viu, sen mentir, começou muit’ a chorar, e un crerigo viir fez, que o foi batiçar; e pois desto, sen falir, os seus crischãos tornar fez, e ar outros bẽes connosçudos. Porque ajan de seer….[/i] English Translation This is how an image of Holy Mary, which a Moor kept respectfully in his house, gave milk from its breasts. So that the miracles of the Virgin may be more widely known, She performs them before incredulous men. It chanced to pass, as I wish to tell you now, that a Moor, as I learned, went to the Holy Land with a great army to make war on Christians and pillage their lands, for they were unprepared. That Moor laid waste all the lands he could enter and carried off all he could steal. He triumphantly returned to his own land and piled together the booty he had taken to distribute it. Of that wealth which he divided, he set aside for himself an image of the Peerless Virgin, which caught his eye. After he had examined it closely, he had it set up in a high place and dressed in garments of spun gold. He often went to gaze upon it and thought it over and reasoned to himself that he simply could not believe that God would become incarnate nor be born of woman. "All who will believe this are mistaken," he said, "for I cannot imagine that God would undertake such suffering nor so debase Himself that He Who is so great would clothe Himself in flesh and walk among common folk, as they say He walked, in order to save the world. However, if He would make one of His manifestations to me, He would cause me to become a Christian at once and be confirmed along with these bearded Moors." The Moor had scarcely uttered this when he saw the statue's two breasts turn into living flesh and begin to flow with milk in gushing streams. When he saw this, verily he began to weep and had a priest called in who baptized him. Afterward, without fail, he had all his followers become Christians as well as many of his other acquaintances.
