SALVTIS CVIQVE SVAE CERTA SVNT inditia.

QVòd tua, sūme Deus, sit cognita certa voluntas

In moestos homines, curis (que) ingentibus aegros,

Quas tibi, chare pater, mira dulcedine laeti

Reddamus grates? quo te celebremus honore?

Papicolae contrá misera formidine tristes,

Turbatique, novis servari ritibus optant.

Si Christum norint, nihil est, quod plura requirant,

Si coelum spectent, nihil est, quod propria laudent.

Sed nimis ô stultè audaces, qui debita poscunt

Regna suis meritis: In aquis fundamina ponunt,

Cùm bona quae faciunt opera imperfecta relinquāt.

Quid veró figmenta virûm, quae plurima fando

Enumerare valent, mereantur ut astra, valebunt?

Iam quid eis adeò miramur inertia corda,

Et tremefacta dari? quibus omnia plena tenebris

Terrisicis, nihil est quod languida pectora firmet.

Nunc huc, nunc illuc, conantes plurima frustra

Errant, at (que) horrent caeca regione viarum.

Nil solidi retinent, rebus quod restet egenis.

At nobis animus praesens, & fortia corda

In Christo. Spes ô hominum fidissima Christe

(Nam (que) aliud quid sit fixum quod stare putemus?

At (que) alia humanis quae sit fiducia rebus?)

Christe sator, soter (que) hominum, quo sospite nunquā

Res equidem nostras superari posse fatebor,

Te duce longinquos coelos spes firma videndi,

Et cha [...]os fratres, exoptatum (que) parentem.

Hic amor, haec patria est, hoc nobis omne leuamen.

Nunc cur quis (que) sibi promittattalia, quaeris?

Est patris arcanum, quo nos praesciuit, [...]bys [...]us

Alta, sed in speculo datur illud [...]mer [...] [...],

Quiveniens (ne (que) enim veni [...]is virtuti [...] [...])

Nos virtute facit fratrem (que), patrem (que) [...].

Hos ego, non dubiis possis ut noscere signis,

Commonstrabo gradus. Primùm sejungit ovile

A mundo, queat ut sibi sanctificare, prophano:

Deinde Deus vitae mysteria magna repandit:

Pòstoculos aperit: nova deni (que) pectora format.

Nunc demum audemus certam sperare salutem, &

Solvere corde metum, cùm primum corda refingit,

Et sensus imos praesenti pignore firmat

Spiritus ipse, Dei longum testatus amorem

Spiritibus nostris. Iam spes immota quietis,

Iam jam coelestes serpunt in viscera flammae,

Quas Deus intus alit, divini signa favoris

Exhilerant, claré (que) micans lux suscitat alma

Ad benefacta, velut sol aureus excitat acrem

Et vocat exoriens opera ad fabrilia fabrum.

Haec spes venturi, haec aevi melioris origo,

Si te, si Dominum spectes, si denique fratres.

Pars tibi pacis erit, si mens tibi conscia recti

Luctanti contra peccatum, daemona, mundum:

Pars tibi pacis erit, Dominum si corde vereris,

Si tibi chara Dei prae cunctis gloria rebus:

Pars tibi pacis erit, si fratres semper a more,

Semper honore coles, sicut te diligis ipsum.

Iam tu ne dubites bene gestis praemia rebus

Expectare, dabit fateor Deus omnia gratis:

Munera certa manent tamen, & sine fine manebunt.

MAGICI, SIVE NOCEANT, SIVE IVVENT, VERBO Dei notantur, & damnantur.

ERgone jam magici possunt reperire patronos?

Iamne licet tali credulitate capi?

Nec gaudemus adhuc sat claro lumine verbi?

Nec sat adhuc serpens cognitus ille vetus?

Scilicet hisce modis prosunt mortalibus aegris,

Sed metus hos cogit somnia vanaloqui.

Demens, qui credit se tot miracula rerum

Edere. Deliras fallit imago senes:

Quid vetulae possunt in nos committere tantum!

Quidue melancholicae commeruistis anus?

Talibus, (ô miseri quae tanta licentia ciues?)

Creditis horrendum vos minuisse scelus?

Anne parum est animam fragili pro corpore? caelum

His pro terrenis vendere velle parum?

Anne parum est pretium contemnere grande salutis?

At (que) jugo Sat anae subdere colla parum?

Anne parum est numen laedi nomen (que) Iehovae?

Et nulla tangi relligione parum?

Ista pios pudeat defendere, cùm pudet ipsos

Artisices sciri facta pudenda sua.

Nam tenebras quaerunt tenebrarum principe digni,

Principe subiectis conveniente suis.

Se dare daemonibus quàm detestabile diris?

Sed dare tabifici se voluere magi.

Spernere baptismum scelus execrabile sacrum,

Hoc quo (que) pestiferi sustinuere magi.

Deni (que), quae nobis dat jura sacerrima Christus,

Cuncta negant: Satanae regna vigere volunt.

Si nece dignus erit simulachrum quisquis adorat,

Sollicitat (que) suos impia facta sequi:

Quanece dignus, init qui cum cacòdaemone foedus▪

Sollicitat (que) suos damna nefanda pati?

Deb [...]ta poena quidem juranti vana, sed hosti

Tam male blasphemo quae satis esse potest?

An quicquam nobis gravius sit crimine tali?

Et dubitamus adhuc fas cruciare magos?

Et quaeremus adhuc nobis bona nostra? nec ulla

Est Domini nostri cura, nec ulla Dei?

Hinc verò bona quae? quamvis si certa darentur,

Ʋt bona proveniant, non facienda mala.

Saepe quidem falsum veri sub imagine, saepe

Noxia sub ficta commoditate latent.

Dona dabunt hostes, non sunt ea dona fruenti:

Quae speciosa vides, ne pretiosa putes.

Fac metuas Danais plus daemona donaferentem

Tam possessori pernsciosa suo.

Mille nocendi artes: an daemonis ulla putabis

Dona carere dolis? Cùm juvat hostis, obest.

Hostis is est homini, prima (que) ab origine mundi

Bella dolis & vi, bella cruenta gerit.

Carmine ferali verbis (que) precantibus hostem

Qui colit, hostili ludificatur ope.

Sacra docet scriptura (sacram quis dicere falsam

Audeat?) est magicos perdere morte pium.

Ipse Deus jussit (quid postulet amplius ullus?)

Iussa salutiferi non violanda Dei.

Vt Deus avert at pestem, ut benedicere possit,

Laetentur (que) boni, contineas (que) malos:

Hi pereant, illi crescant: dum faedera jungunt,

Et sine tabe salus, & sine labe fides.

Creation

Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

Editorial practices

EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).
