QVOD Chebar & Patmos, divinis Vatibus olim, Hoc, fuerant Sancto claustra Abredaea Viro: Profuit ut quondam tibi plus Ecclesia carcer, Libera quam patuli copia facta fort; Hic tibi sic scriptis carcer plus profuit ist is, Pulpita, quam raucâ quae sonuere tuba. Pharmaca in hoc prostant, contritis cord, libello, Hic crucis El•s•s, est via s•rata r•sis. Hic Amor & Christi decor, hic coelestis et aulae Gloria depicta est, horrida & ira Dei. Ardua materies, sublimibus apta cothurnis, Hic tenui & facilifusa, legenda stylo est. Lividus at voces si carpat Zoilus ullas, Non Divina sapit, Cor sine meant gerit. Praesulibus celerem attulerant haec Scripta ruinam, Impressa, extremum praestituuntque diem.
