 | | Take heed, therefore, O man, and stay within the catholic faith, live within it, remain steadfast within it, within the one catholic Church. |
 | | The word anguis is applied to the entire species of snake, because the snake's body can be folded and bent; as a result, it is called anguis because it forms a series of angles, angulosus, and is never straight. |
 | | \ De serpentibus \Anguis omnium serpentium est genus quod compli\cari et torqueri potest, et inde anguis quod angu\losus sit et nunquam rectus. |
