Cest ••••mme monit••e vn coeur beau d'apparence E•• ••ar dedans èn porte vn tout infect: Ce mal est bien plus grand que lon ne pense. Car autruy trompe, & soymesme defait. Et Dieu qui seul descouure tout son faict, Luy a donné sa maled••ction. Or prions donc ce bon D••eu seul parfaict Qu'•• nous en donne vn net sansfiction.

XXXIV. LATINE.

Vae tibi, qui purum iactas sine crimine pectus, E•• ••andem impurum simplice veste tegis. Non ignota Deo tua sunt periuria: cordis ille tui iudex intema sensa videt.

ALITER.

Infelix (audens gressus glomerare superbos) Vult vanum vero dissimulare iecur. Nil conscire sibi, nulla pallescere culpa. Quin superos colere, hic murus aheneus est.

XXXIV. HISPANICE.

Los hombres si, mas Dios con l'aparencia D'vn simple coraçon, no podras engan̄ar Cubriendo tu malicia, para otros defraudar: Porque el oio de Dios penetra las cubiertas Y todas las magan̄as De tus malas entran̄as Y hald aras al sin sus amenazas ciertas.

XXXIV. ITALICE.

Quan sciocco é quel che de simpl'innoncenza Fa profession, di fuor' in apparenza, E tien nel suo cor ascos á la malitia, Persuaso che nissun ne può auer notitia? Pensi tu ch'Iddio il cui occhio per tutto Vide, il tuo cor non habbi conosciuto? E non sij gia presto, per farn'anchor giustitia?

XXXIV. GERMANICE.

Weil GOtt ein Hertzenfu^ender ist / So hufft kein Heucheley noch List / Daß einer sich so stellen wolt / Als wer es eytel ko^estlich Golt / Vnd ist inwendig nur betrug / Wie kan derselb bestehn mit fug Vor Gott dem HERRN / sein falscher Schein Wird jhm Vnglu^eck bringen vnd Pein.

XXXIV. ANGLICE.

God knowes the heart, and meind of man, Whey thus his wiked person than? Runne befor God, to make him self so kléer, That he liues as he thus desire, His habit is simple, the diet but fish, And for riches, he thus not wish, But God thus knowe, his hearte and meind That in him, is no thruth to feind.
