Apology Against the Calumnies of the Louvain Theologians

For the rigid Censor spares no one

The Pope is rebuked, Caesar

* Erratus erring/mistaken, by error through the place by authority, because thus spoke the Reverend Father, Brother Our Master and master of heretics, Jacob Hochstratus, in his book against the Cabala.

* Tutat guards/protects, poetically and in the manner of Busconus: for by the common rule of grammarians it is said "tutatur" or "tuetur".

Those whom the * erratus erring title carries,

Declaiming, it is permitted for each to invent in various ways.
Why does anyone dare to write that it is a sin to deceive

* Scitum knowledge/learned thing, for science, a new wit: and just as boys in schools say "comestum" eaten for "cibum meum" my food.

The title is full of reproach, * scitum knowledge

Nothing stands out more certainly than notable art.
Art is not made damnable, although the abuse of art is great,
It becomes polished, no one living is without crime.

* Bellam artem beautiful art, charming and roseate elegance in such a thorny poem.

* Ampl'° ardelio great trifler, an appropriate epithet, just as he says "Most Ample Father."

For you know, you do not know, you laugh,

Thus, look, your own verse has it in your code.
You are a doctor of dual law, gravity
