Hoc igitur, a vobis unice ac obnixe Peto, Quod Gentibus inter quos in Opere Dei abundatis, Hos primae Magnitudinis Articulos, in quibus Verus Christianismus primo consistit, primo Proponatis,
Imprimis, DEUS ille Unus, qui in Tribus Personis, nempe Patre ac Filio ac Spiritu Sancta subsistit, Mundumque in principio Creavit, est pro Deo nostro amplectendus atque adorandus; Praecipuus hic debet esse Vitae nostrae Scopus, huic soli in Omnibus Obtempetare; Omniaque quae hujus Lumen in Anima nost•a Lucens pro peccatis contra illum Condemnaverit, summa cum Animae cura evitate.
Deinde; CHRISTUS ille, quiest AEternus Dei Filius, in Beatissimo nostro JESU Incarnatus, est Redemptor Noster, Unicus; qui pro nobis moriens sobtulit gratissimum Divinae Justitiae ⟨p. 68⟩Sacrificium, cui Fides Nostra innixa nos Deo reddit Reconciliatos; et sub Hujus Institutione qui in coelos jam Receptus in Dei Throno Regnat, Mirabilem et Inenerrabilem faelicitatem Animae nostrae Immortalis, cui Conpus in Resurrectione gloria indutum, reunion fruetur, in Die quo Mundum Judicaturus, ad nos redierit, Expectare debemus.
