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

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.
