Fatalis series nobis invidit Erasmum,
Sed desiderium tollere non potuit.
Bibliotheca, et Cimelia eius, illustre Basiliensis Bibliothecae ornamentum sunt. In religione, Pontificiorum errores sic pervidit, ut vulgo diceretur: Aut Lutherus Erasmizatus, aut Erasmus Lutherizatus. Interim a se impetrare non potuit, ut ad Evangelicos aperte se applicaret, conciliationi utrorumqueve perpetuo intentus. De Luthero quid iudicaverit, vide Ep. eius. l. 2. ep. 1. l. 12. ep. 23. et 31. l. 6. ep. 4. l. 14. ep. 1. Item ep. ad Fridericum Sax. tom. 1.
