Has uobis epulas exhibuerit sanctus dominus Deus noster per natalicia martyris sui Vincenti. Nomen uictoriae est. Amate autem, ut uincatis. Non enim deest persecutio. Diabolus persecutor est, numquam deficit occasio coronae.
'Such a treat the Holy Lord our God prepared for you for the yearly feast of his martyr, Vincentius. His is the name of victory. Love then, in order to win. For the persecution has not disappeared. The devil is the persecutor and no one lacks an opportunity to win the crown.'
There follows a passage on the ways in which the devil persecutes or tries contemporary Christians.
Text: Lambot 1961, p. 47. Translation and summary: Robert Wiśniewski.
