EMBLEME XII.

Le nuage esclattant en allumez brandons
Nous verse au mesme instant des eaux à grands randons.
Ainsi Christ est ta vie, en foy si le retiens,
Il est ta mort aussi si conte tu n’en tiens.[1]

Notes:

1.  On a similar theme, see Erasmus, Adagia 1.8.65, ‘Nunc pluit, & claro nunc Iuppiter aethere fulgit’ (One moment it is raining, the next Jupiter is shining from a clear sky).
