[sig. (3)4v] Ad Librum.

Fahr hin du Buch vnd biß bereitt/
Zu Triumphiren jederzeit.
Segen deine Feinde groß vnd klein/
So grausam dein Verfolger seyn/
Dein Macht sie nicht können eintreibn/
Den Warheit muß doch warheit bleibn.

Go forth, O book, always be set
To triumph, in every threat.
Bless foes, both mighty and slight,
Though they pursue with all their might.
Your force, they cannot overthrow,
For truth as truth shall ever glow.
