Ος ἐτέον γ', ὦ Εραστὲ, πέλεις ἒραστος καὶ ἀγεστὸς
ἀνδράσιν οὐκ ἀκρίτοις οὖσιν, ἀτὰρ πινυτοῖς.
πολλὰ γὰρ εἰς ὄφελος κοινοῦ βιότου πρίν ἔγραψας,
νῦν δὲ καὶ ἀλλα γράφεις εὖ καὶ ἐπισταμένως.
τίς γὰρ σοί γ' ἀνέρων ἐρίσειεν ἂν ἄλλος ἁπάντων
ἢ φυῇ, ἢ σοφίῃ, ἠὲ διδασκαλίῃ;
μάντιες οὖν κενεοὶ, καὶ ἀπαίδευτος Παράκελσος,
καὶ πλέονες κεῖνται ψευδολόγοι διὰ σοῦ.
σὺ δ' ἐτεόν γ', ὦ Ἐραστὲ, πέλεις ἐρατὸς καὶ ἀρεστὸς
ἀνδράσιν οὐκ ἀκρίτοισ οὖσιν, ἀτὰρ πινυτοῖς.
id est,
Quàm verè, ô Eraste, es amabilis & placens
Viris non iudicio carentibus, sed intelligentibus?
Multa enim in vtilitatem communis vitæ priùs scripsisti,
Nunc verò etiam alia scribis rectè ac peritè.
Quis enim omnium virorum alius tecum certauerit
Vel ingenio, vel sapientia, vel doctrina, id est docendi modo?
Vates igitur vani (id est astrologi) et indoctus Paracelsus,
Et plures falsum dicentes iacent per te.
Tu autem verè, ô Eraste, es amabilis & placens
Viris non iudicio carentibus sed intelligentibus.
