[sig. A2r] In Basilium Valentinum Theophrasticæ disciplinæ auctorem eruditissimum, editum à doctissimo viro Iohanne Thôldio.
Scripta Valentini multis abscondita seclis,
Thôldius in lucem nobile promit opus.
[sig. A2v] Abstrusas tenet auctor opes, elementaq́ue rerum
Quæ procul à vulgi cognitione sita.
Thöldius inventi thesauri laude fruatur.
Servatiq́ue ferat lucra decusq́ue libri.

To the most learned author of Theophrastic discipline, Basil Valentine, published by the most learned man, Johann Thölde.
Valentine's writings, hidden for many centuries, are brought to light by Thölde as a noble work. The author possesses hidden wealth and knowledge of the elements of things, which are far removed from common understanding. Thölde should be praised for uncovering this treasure and for the benefits and honor he brings to the preserved book.
