Texte complet (éd. Yeager):	Cultor in ecclesia qui, deficiente sophia, semina vana serit, messor inanis erit. Hii set cultores sunt quorum semina mores ad messem Cristi, plura lucrantur ibi. Qui cupit ergo bonus celorum lucra colonus, Unde lucrum querat, semina sancta serat. Qui pastor Cristi iusto cupit ordine sisti non sit cum Cristo Symon mediator in isto. Querat pasturam pastor sine crimine puram, nam nimis est vile pascat si Symon ovile. Per loca deserta, quo nulla patet via certa, Symon oves ducit, quas Cristo raro reducit.
