EMBLEMA VIII.
Cernis ut in caelum fuerat quae machina torta,
Fit iaculatori mors properata suo?
In sanctos quicunque Dei ruis impie, servos,
Conatus merces. Haec[1] manet una tuos.
Do you see how the machine which had been pointed towards the sky/heaven became death prepared for the one who fired it? Anyone [of you] who faithlessly turns against the holy servants of God. This one reward awaits your efforts.
