Reverendo admodum Viro GERARDO CROESIO, Cum Historiam, quam vocat, Quakerianam luci exponeret.

O Insularum gloria, plurimas Experta turbas! O variantibus Subjecta fatis, & tremendi Tot furiis agitata belli.
Britanna tellus, dissidiis quoque Sanctam tuorum dilacerans fidem: Vt volvit, incertosque longè Oceanus glomerat furores.
Vicinas acri turbine fluctuum Versas frequenter fluxa subit vic••••. Exempla non vanis supersunt Indiciis. Memoret vetustas
Inscripta fastis. Relligio gemet Divulsa Sectis. En specimen recens. En callidos Foxi sequaces, Quos Tremulos patrio vocavit
Sermone Index Derbraicae Domus Enthusiasticas, insolito genus Quod spiritu raptum piorum Christiadum stupuere turmae.
Horum involutas narrat origines Qui jure primas Croesius hic tenet, Latéque divisum disertis Prosequitur populum papyris.
Vel digna tanto saecla Saturnia O si redirent illa! forent viro. Vel dignior natas recenter Croesius incoluisse terras

Adrianus Reeland.
