EXimium illud quod semper exhibuisti (vir pientissime) Religionis specimen subsequentes hasce conciones sub nomiminis tui vexillo haud immerito evocavit. Chara adeò Tibimet & cordi sunt Sacrosancta Dei eloquia, ut quod tenuitas nostra & facultatula amanuensis in hâc repraestiterit, nequaquam dubito quin pro singulari tuâ & Pietate & humanitate boni consulere digneris. Authorem quod attinet, Panegyrin ille nullatenus nostram desiderat, quippe omnia quae meditemur Elogia multis parasangis superavit.

Non decet liberorum panem canibus objici, nedum canum offas sic liberis ingeri, ut Circaeo quasi fascinati poculo in canes ipsos, in boves, in hircos, in lupos transforma rentur. Interea temporis, tametsi ego (vir colendissime) imperitiae & tenuitatis meae probè conscius sum, minimè tamen dubitem quin & Tibi & aliis eximiè piis, congesta hocce in codicillo apprimè arrideant: spiritualibus ⟨image 6⟩
