"Indeed Cochlaeus at Worms in 1540, and Pighius at Regensburg in 1541, took it hard that a fuller declaration on many articles let in so much light.

They saw true opinions set out more clearly, and the shame of Babylon's Thais stripped plainer still.

They would rather have kept the 1531 edition alone — their own writings say so."

Latin

Imò Cochlaeus Wormatiae Anno 40. & Pighius Anno 41. Ratisbonae graviter tulerunt, multis Articulis pleniori declaratione, plurimùm lucis accessisse. Unde videbant veras sententias magis illustrari & Thaidis Babylonicae turpitudinem manifestius denudari, & maluissent isti simpliciter retineri editionem Anni 31. sicut scripta ipsorum testantur.
