[De haeresibus]
D. Aurelii Augustini Hipponensis Episcopi liber De hæresibus, ad Quodvultdeum. Lamberti Danæi opera eme[n]datus, & commentarijs illustratus, à quo eodem additæ sunt hæreses ab orbe co[n]dito ad constitutum Papismum & Mahumetismum, etiam eæ quæ hîc erant ab Augustino prætermissæ. Accessit opera quadruplex index, vt non modò chronologiæ hæreson ratio, sed etiam quæ ex illis vtilitas percipi possit, intelligeretur, & à quibus in vnoquoque decalogi præcepto, symboli apostolici articulo, item disputatione de sacramentis sit erratum. In calce operis addita est arbor hæreseon, ex qua quomodo aliæ ex alijs natæ sint, & propagatæ, & vt sæpe vna quædam hydra plura capita produxerit, perspicuè docetur. Per eundem L. Danæum. Additus est præterea tractatus de ecclesia, vbi quibus sensim gradibus illa tandem in Papisticâ tyrannidem inciderit, ostendatur.
