Pay attention, clever youth! to the benefit these print scenes / Communicate to you from many histories of the Bible; / Behold here Joseph's lot, exalted after much suffering, / As well as what Moses did, by God, for Israel
See in this print collection various sketches shine, / They are given to you, O youth, / Which are instructive and entertaining; / For pastime: But distinguish being from appearance
Follow morality and its lessons. / But pierce into wanton hearts. / Fashion does not accord with her law; / O youth! take heed of the distinction
