      (front cover, expl.:) (Occidere. Occisio) Sic vere semina diviciarum quamvis discrete et moderate sumpta hominibus possunt perficere ad salutem occidunt tamen illos per avariciam qui ipsas indiscrete accipiunt et qui male ipsas administrantes cor et fiduciam ibi ponunt. Argentum enim vivum exterius corpori appositum potest multis medicinis esse multum utile. Si vero indiscrete interius bibatur occidit hominem eiusque intima perforat et corrodit. Sic vere argentum vivum ardens gerentem in ventre id est diviciarum affluencia si exterius et superficialiter habeatur utilis est, si vero intus in corde per amorem recipiatur tunc solet hominem per avariciam occidere et per curas et sollicitudines intima cordis sui multipliciter lacerare. Et hoc est quod figuratur Genesi iiii in Caym qui interpretatur possessio qui in agro occidit Abel fratrem suum eo id est indiscrete cum eo ivisset et in eo confidisset. Quia vere mundi possesiones et divicie in agro huius mundi solent fratres suos id est illos qui ipsas amant per avariciam occidere et eos qui se eis indiscrete associant per affectum et qui stulte in eis confidunt solent permulta crimina trucidare.//
