Discordia. Melior est buccella sicca cum gaudio quam domus plena victimis cum iurgio. Proverb 17ai. De peux mieux la jouissance que par mesure ou strecuidance. Ein Mundtvoll besser ist mit Freijdt dan Uberfluss mit Zorn und Leijdt. Belli sed rabies, quicquid pax alma ministrat, diripit, invertit, cuntacque caede replet. M. de Vos figuravit. Crisp. vande Pass excud. A. 1589
