Ps.Psalmus 1. Beatǔs ille qǔi procǔl congressibǔs Remotǔs est ab impijs, Nec impiǔm ǔocatǔs in consortiǔm Gradǔ stat imperterrito. Nec castra falsa plena conscientiae Secǔtǔs, abnegat Deǔm: Sed mente ǔerbo qǔi ǔolens fidit Dei TotoqTotoque adhaeret pectore, Qǔi nocte, qui cǔrat die potissimūpotissimum Deo placere maximo. Hic est ǔt arbor ad rigantes riǔǔlos Quam diligens seǔit manǔs, Quæ publicǔm frǔctus in ǔsǔm amabiles Sǔo ministrat tempore. Non hǔic nocet ǔel Caŭrŭs imbre sordidǔs Vel ǔis sonantis Africi, Ramis gerit semper comas ǔirentibǔs Lætis decora frǔctibǔs. Non impiǔm sectatǔr hæc fœlicitas Qǔi nescit, aǔt negat Deǔm. Sed sicǔt ǔno Apeliotes impetǔ Glǔmas inanes disijcit: Sic obstinatos ǔentilat Deǔs impios InǔtilesqInǔtilesque proijcit. Iccirco iǔstam cǔm feret sententiam ǔerbi potestas ǔindicis, Nil impijs erit relictǔm ponderis Errata qǔo tegant sǔa: Sed exǔles ab omnibǔs pijs procǔl Pœnas dabǔnt infamia. Cǔræ Deo nam sǔnt ǔiæ credentiǔm, Negotijs in omnibǔs, At impiorǔm fallet irritǔs labor In omnibǔs negotijs.

Εἰ ὁ θεὸς ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν, τίς καθ’ ἡμῶν; ὅςγε τοῦ ἰδίου υἱοῦ οὐκ ἐφείσατο, ἀλλ’ ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν πάντων παρέδωκεν αὐτόν, πῶςοὐχὶ καὶ σὺν αὐτῷ τα πάντα ἡμῖν χαρίσεται; τίς ἐγκα:λέσει κατ’ ἐκλεκτῶν θεοῦ; θεὸς ὁ δικαιῶν· τίς ὁ κατακρίνων; Χριστὸς ὁ ἀποθανών, μᾶλλον δὲ καὶ ἐγερθεὶς, ὁς καὶ ἐστὶνἐν δεξιᾷ τοῦ θεοῦ, ὁς καὶ ἐντυγχάνει ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν.

Vult Paulus, vt in lucta conscientiæ territæ conspectu peccatorum et iudicij Dei, consolemur nos consideratione mirandi operis, quod Deus filium coæternum και όμοούσιον misit in hanc carnem, vt nos liberaret a peccato et morte, et reconciliaret patri. Tribuit autem Paulus Christo hic quatuor officia: quod factus pro nobis victima, impetrauerit veniam peccatis nostris. quod resuscitatus a morte vicerit et aboleuerit mortem æternam, quod sedens ad dexteram Dei patris regnet, et suam infirmam Ecclesiam regat, ac defendat ab insidijs et furore diaboli et tyrannorum, quod deniqdenique intercedat apud patrem pro nobis infirmis et adhuc multipliciter contaminatis, ac impetret et mittat nobis spiritum sanctum, a quo doceamur, regamur, confirmemur in hac caligine mentis nostræ, et ingentibus ærumnis huius miseræ vitæ. Erigamur igitur et sustentemus nos in omni adflictione, fiducia filij Dei, qui nobis est factus
