Here is today's emblem and distich by Gabriel Rollenhagen, Book 2:9, with an English rendering by George Wither. Here are Wither's comments on the visual symbols of the emblem: For, as to draw a Circle, with our hand, We cause the brazen Compasses to stand With one foot firmely fixed one the ground; And move the other in a Constant-round: Right so, when we shall purpose to proceed In any just, and profitable deed, We first, should by a constant-resolution, Stand firme, to what we put in execution: And, then, with perseverance, labour out Those workings, which we are employ'd about. And here is a close-up view of the wise men in the background; the circles of this earth are but a reflection of the celestial perfection of the circular form, drawn by the compass: Labore Et Constantia Omnia perficies constante labore, nec ullum Difficile est illi, qui bene pergit, opus. Good Hopes, we best accomplish may By lab'ring in a constant-Way. The vocabulary is keyed to the DCC Latin Vocabulary list. There are only two words in this poem that are not on the DCC list: constantia, f. - steadiness, constancy, agreement perficiō -ficere -fēcī -fectum: bring to a conclusion, accomplish bene: well cōnstō -stāre -stitī: agree; constat, it is established that (+ infin.) difficilis -e: not easy, hard, difficult et: and ille illa illud: that labor -ōris m.: toil, exertion neque nec: and not, nor; neque . . . neque, neither . . . nor omnis -e: all, every, as a whole opus operis n.: work pergō pergere perrēxī perrēctum: continue, proceeed; awaken qui quae quod: who, which, what / quis quid: who? what? which? sum, esse, fuī: be, exist ūllus -a -um: any, anyone

A Benedictional contains blessings, prayers, and rites intended for the personal use of a bishop. This one was commissioned by Robert de Clercq, abbot of the Cistercian monastery of Ter Duinen (‘Les Dunes’) at Kokside near Bruges from 1519 to 1557, sometime between when he took office and the death of Ludovicus Bloc in 1529. His arms, initials, and motto Sperans gaudebo (‘In hope I will rejoice’) are found throughout the volume. He is portrayed in the Crucifixion miniature (4v), wearing his white Cistercian habit, with his abbatial crosier and mitre. The manuscript was illuminated by Simon Bening (1483-1561), one of the foremost Flemish miniaturists of the sixteenth century. It preserves its original covers made by the well-known Bruges binder, Ludovicus Bloc (d. 1529)
