Sedẽtes in tenebris, & in umbra Mortis, vinctos in mendicitate. Psal. CVI. Haec uia fallendi mortales pulchra uidetur qua tegitur ficta relligione malum. Nanq; foris sunulāt magnum pietatis amorem, omne uoluptatum sed genus intus habent. At cum finis adest, ueniunt tristissima dona: Accumulat cunctos mors inimica malos.
