Voicy qui fait d’un seul coeur deux offrandes:
Faisant partage entre Dieu & le diable.
O toy Chrestien, Dieu veut que tu entendes
Qu’il est jaloux, & n’est point supportable
De te souiller en chose abominable:
Car tu ne peux servir ą deux seigneurs.
Or Dieu veut tout. car, n’estant partissable,
Des hommes veut & les corps & les coeurs.

IMPOSSIBLE EST

It is impossible

A demon-like creature holding a sceptre over one arm, flies in the sky and holds out a hand towards a kneeling fgure on the ground below him. This figure holds up a heart. There is a tetragrammaton in a cloud in the top right-hand corner of the image.

xxix.

Ah, ah, falsa fides! nam quid satanaeque Deoque
Uno eodemque venis fundere corde preces?
Tu, qua placatum satanam veneraris, eadem,
Heu miser! iritas relligione Deum.

Ah, ah! false faith! for how do you come to pour out prayers to Satan and to God with one and the same heart? You alas! you wretched one! you provoke God by worshipping Him with the same piety/reverence with which you honour the Satan you have placated.
