A POYSONOVS Serpent wreathed vp around In scalie boughtes, a sharpe two edged Sword, Supported by a book vpon the ground, Is worldly wisedome grounded on GODS word, The which vnlesse our proiects doth sustaine, Our plot is nought, and best devises vaine. What ever then thou hap to take in hand, In formost place, the feare of GOD preferre, * Else, like the Foole thou buildest on the sand, By this (the Lesbian * stone) thou canst not erre, Which who so doth, his * first foundation lay, Contriues a works that never shall decay.

Squammiger in gyros gladio se colligit anguis, Naturam signant quae POLITIA tuam; Effera Iustitia est, Prudentia vana SOLONIS, Haec nisi substentent Biblia sacra DEI.

Timor igitur DEI solus est, qui custodit hominum inter se societatem, per quem vita ipsa sustinetur, munitur, gubernatur. &tc.
