Dieses alles hab ich dir lieber Leser/ beydes zu erinnerung vnd warnung zum Valete vnangemeldt nicht lassen wollen: verhoffe du werdest mich in allem (so fern dir Gott anderst nicht die Augen vnnd Ohren verhellt) gnugsamlich verstanden vnnd gemercket haben. Dann ich diß trewlicher vnd deutlicher (so viel mit gutem Gewissen zuthun) nicht fürweisen/ oder offenbahrlicher beschreiben können. Wann du es hierauß nicht verstehen oder lernen kanst/ trag ich sorg/ es werde dir schwerlich durch andere vnderweisung zu ergreiffen sein.

All this, dear reader, I have wished not to leave unmentioned at my farewell, both as a reminder and a warning. I hope that you have sufficiently understood and taken note of me in everything, unless God has withheld your eyes and ears. For I could not have set it forth more faithfully and clearly, or described it more openly, as far as may be done with a good conscience. If you cannot understand or learn it from this, I fear you will scarcely grasp it through other instruction.

Historical Text and Translation

Anonymous, Wasserstein der Weysen. Frankfurt: Lucas Jennis, 1619. The governing e-rara copy belongs to the Stiftung der Werke von C. G. Jung, Zürich (DOI 10.3931/e-rara-8968). The work is traditionally attributed to Johann Siebmacher; this remains an attribution, not a name printed in the anonymous witness. The separately sourced First and Second Responses use the 1661 Wolfenbüttel witness, qun-642-1s, pp. 200–206.
