6070. Draco
Erat praedicator in Haag, ille erat ex doctrina de sola fide, ille apparuit aliis prorsus sicut draco; et quoque visus est stare coram muliere sicut pariente in cupidine devorandi foetum, quando exiret, Ecclesia Domini quae Nova Hierosolyma, repraesentative sistebatur per mulierem, et doctrina ejus per foetum.
