Vuilhelmus dei gratia episcopus argentinense.
vniuerso clero nobis subiecto salutem.
            Rogati nup[er] vt nouos horax libros in diocesi nostra
distrahi pateremus: no mox annuendi duximus: nisi
prius vel castigati vel salte index errator (vnde quisp
ses mendas dispungat) adiunctos esset. Dolemus em
ex corde: si libri presertim diuinor officio[rum] medosi p
nostrii episcopatu disseminant. Hortamur que omnes & sin

tione habere videant. Nec minori affectu exhortamur
