Vae qui dicitis malũ bonũ, & bonũ malũ, ponẽtes tenebras lucẽ, & lucẽ tenebras, ponẽtes amarũ dulce, & dulce in amarũ. Isaiae XV. Vae qui taxatis pro falso crimine rectum, quodq́; malum uere est, dicitis esse bonum. Ex tenebris lucem facitis, de luce tenebras, mellaq́; cum tristi dulcia felle datis.
