1Was ist nu in der werlt fur ein wesen, Wir moegen fur den pfaffen nicht genesen. What is this, to see the world now round about, That for these shaveling priests no man that once may route? Quàm primum clericus suscipit rasuram, statim intrat in eum diabolus.

That is: In the name of God beginneth all evil alluding to the Popes Bulls, which commonly so begin. Item when Bulls come from Rome, bind well your purses. The nearer Rome, the farther from Christ. Item, he that goeth once to Rome, seeth a wicked man. He that goeth twice, learneth to know him. He that goeth thrice, bringeth him home with him. Item, the Court of Rome never regardeth the sheep without the wool. Once were wooden chalices and golden priests. 1
