[sig. B4r] Rodolphus Goclenius ad Respondentem.

Et Sophiæ & Logices homines nisi luce regantur,
Præcipites animos devius error agit.
Omnibus ergo modis tua sunt conata juvanda
A studio tibi qui quæris utroque decus.
Perge ita. Virtutis tibi ferveat insitus ardor,
Corporis ingenio damna repende tuo.

To the Respondent, by Rodolphus Goclenius.

Unless men of Wisdom and Logic are governed by light,
Straying error drives their minds headlong into rashness.
Therefore, in every way, your endeavors must be supported
By those who seek honor from both devotion and study.
Continue in this manner. Let the innate fervor of virtue burn within you,
Compensate for the losses of the body with the power of your intellect.
