Volume 3, Image 2
Pastorius's Description: F.D.P. Favos Diligentia Parat. / Studium et Constantia, / Labor & Tolerantia / Colligunt ab Infantiâ, / Docta et Elegantia, / Lectorem Delectantia. / Et Finem Coronantia. // If we not exercise our Wit, / A short Time's Sloth corrupteth it. / Ignavus : Ignarus. / Neglectis urenda Filix innascitur Agris. / Wir in sÿn Lant geen Koren saeyt; 'Tis seeker, dat hÿ Distels maeyt! // An Encyclopedia of all what can be known, / May very well be made be Com[m]on-placing down / The Better Sort of things out of the Best of Books; / And such a Work, no doubt, the Best of men would own, / Some Better lay aside their Surpliss & their gown, / Yea and Good Captains beat their spears to Pruning-hooks. // Fac Deus Providenbit.
