Sunt plerique, qui reformationem iustam, plerique qui aliquam, sed non plenam, sunt qui prorsus nullam admissuri videntur. Dominus adsit nobis.

Exspectandum, quid Deus dare velit in istis comitiis, quem assidue pro ecclesia oremus atque pro iis, qui actioni adhibebuntur, ut prorsus Sathanas devincatur. Spes parva est, ut tamen aliquid ipsi eripiamus, et Christo addicamus, bona spes est. Nemo ex principibus prophanis repugnat.
