Le Fils de Dieu seul juste & tout parfait,
Nous a son joug doucement presenté:
Mais cest ingrat, qui conte n’en a fait,
S’est d’un tel bien par orgeuil absenté.
Puis donc qu’ailleurs n’est vie ne santé,
Qui monstrera que Dieu luy ait fait tort,
Si le rebelle en sa temerité
S’est trouvé pris du licol de la mort?

RECTUM IUDICIUM[1]

Correct judgment

A skeleton pulls a noose tight around the neck of a soldier. A disembodied hand holds out a yoke.

iiii.

Mite iugum Christus, devictis hostibus, orbi
Attulit, & facili mitia vincla iugo.
At tu, qui subdi furiata mente recusas,
Quid quereris, Mortis si cadis in laqueos?

His foes subdued, Christ brings a gentle yoke to the earth and gentle chains with an easy yoke. But you who with a crazed mind refuse to bow [to the yoke], what complaint will you make if you fall into the snares of death?

Notes:

1.  Psalm 118 (119):137
