I. THOMAS SHEPARDIUS Anagr: Paradisus hos[illegible]em?

HE.! Paradisus alit Sanctis [illegible] hostem?

[illegible] Baptiz[illegible]m praecipit [illegible]se De[illegible]s?

[illegible], clem[illegible]ns, [illegible] u[illegible]nis,

[illegible] gr[illegible]mi[illegible] Ting[illegible]r ille suo?

[illegible] Ecclesia (mater) habe[illegible]i[illegible],

[illegible] Sanct[illegible]s vox ait esse De[illegible]?

[illegible] sic Shepardius [illegible]lim,

Non sic, [illegible] Scr[illegible]pt[illegible] rei[illegible]u[illegible]t, a[illegible]unt.

Non sic Doctores celebrat quos sanct[illegible]or, at[illegible]s,

Anglia quos celebrat Prisca, sim[illegible]lque nova.

His ut[illegible]nam San[illegible]s Deus ipse laboribus almam

E[illegible] superis, clemens, suppeditaret opem!

Qu[illegible] fine, Doctores non [illegible]ull[illegible], scripta[illegible]nec ulla,

Errores poss[illegible]nt carnificare malos.

Jus confirmabas puerorum, Christe, tuorum

A gre[illegible]to vellent cum revocare [illegible];

Sa[illegible]git[illegible], Lactentesque [illegible] defendito ab [illegible]ste

Q[illegible]i vellet l[illegible]udes (—cunque) [illegible]perire [illegible].

Amen
