This is what Jerome says; and as to me, my grief proceeds, above all, from Paletz.

In truth, the Doctor of Bibrach has the advantage over Lord Henry, and over Master John of Janowitz. The other dreams will be also explained, if it please God.^[1]

Let the Doctor of Bibrach keep to himself alone what he has imparted to me, relative to my letters; for Christ has said,—“A man’s enemies are of his own household, and you shall be betrayed by your own relatives.”

Farewell! Be firm and constant all you that dwell in this city of Constance.^[2] Greet all my friends for me, but prudently, for fear the question be asked, How you know that I have sent them a greeting?

2. Habete constantiam in Constantia omnes qui simul estis.
