SIC DEMVM PVRGABITVR

LXXX. GALLICE.

Dieu qui promet refondre nostre escume, Ostant ce plomb au bon metail contraire, Monstre qui est cestuy la qui presume Ouurer de soy rien qui luy seust complaire: Car puis qu'il faut le refondre & refaire, Voire conuient estre nay derechef, On voit assez quell' oeuure lon peut faire Sans auoir foy, qui nous conioint au chef.

LXXX. LATINE.

Ignitis ipsum non se fornacibus aurum, Humanum solers purgat at ingenium. Despumare animo vitia, &, quae noxia, longè Eijcere, hoc Christi dextera sola potest.

ALITER.

Cratibus vt purgant vannis frumenta coloni, Farra simul lolio per cereale cribrum. Seligitur spumis aurum fornace: repurgat, Foedis sic maculis corda renata Deus.

LXXX. HISPANICE.

El oro a si mismo purgar No puede: mas la diligencia Del hombre, que con prudencia, Lo sabe bien gouernar. Assi de Dios solo la mano Purga el genero humano▪ De sus escorias por clemencia.

LXXX. ITALICE.

Loro nella fornace ardente Se stesso non puo rafinare Ma e'é l'industria prudente De l'huom che lo sá gouernare. Cossi d'Iddio la man benigna Purga la scoria maligna Delli fideli per gli saluare.

LXXX. GERMANICE.

Wenn das Golt wird ins Fewers Glut / Gereiniget vnd kompt zu gut. Thut nicht die Schuld am Gold bestan / Sondern am Meister der es kan. Also wenn auch wir werden rein / Gewaschen von Suenden gemein. Kompt solches nicht von vnser Krafft / Sondern wird durch Christum verschafft.

LXXX. ANGLICE.

Before a Silber, or that Gould, Can be current in this World, But mus first, throug a gouldsmith skil, In fire strong, be purifiet stil; Lykewise if wéear in generall, Waschen, from our sinnes all, Is therefore, not thein, or mine operation, But only, Creistes purification.

LXXX. BELGICE.

Het gout / noch ghemengt Synde / met ander Metael T'sy / Coper / Loot / Slacken / oft onreynicheyt Ten can hem selfs / daer van niet suyuren ye mael Den Goultsmit moet bet van al die vileynicheyt Int vier af dryuen / oft t'waer hem cleynicheyt Dat soo te ghebruycken / ist heel onbequaem Soo proeft Godt te syne in har weynicheyt Het vier deß Cruysses / maeckt ons Godt aenghenaem
