Translation:

A. B. C. Tab.
O dear man, consider well Christ’s love which moved him to become a man on earth for us. Completely willingly he gave himself unto death. Come and see, let the blood of Jesus thus shed be for the good of me and you. O, that we work constantly toward loving rightly this priest in eternity , source of blessedness. To live faithfully in him, be obedient to him, be firmly rooted, even though the world, full of Xantippe-like evil, pride, filled with hatred and envy in war and quarrel stands against us. Whoever loves Jesus retains the field.
