Certainly, you were adorned with extraordinary gifts: Virtue was deeply imprinted on your heart and mind, No bad behavior could ever have the advantage of you, Which otherwise refreshes most of the mortals: (...) This is now presented to you for the glory of Preiss and Denck: A treasure has been sunk here, a jewel of that world, Therefore, alike and alike joined the sky, Where virtue is honored in that starry tent. A. 1690. G.W. quoted from Johann Martin Trechsel's renewed memory of the Nuremberg Johannis Kirch Hofs, 1736
