Text.Duclo.1590-01.Ee2r2/Translation
From Theatrum Paracelsicum
Why do you stand, book, under an invincible leader? Erastus has failed and could not stand firm in battle. Why do you fear in vain to yearn for valor? Retreats and all nobler places are open to you. You sing of great things, and it is of great merit to be adorned with this gift: Who would deny that these things become the great? So go forth, shining more boldly in your own light, you will be safe in the name of the invincible prince.
