Ardez

 

 

1610
Das Hus sted in Gottes Handt
undt Alle Ding sindt Im Bekandt
Sanguine fundata est ecclesia
sanguine cæpit
Sanguine succrevit sanguin
finis erit
Otium pulvinar satfanæ
Padruot filg da Ion
Steiwan Stupaun

Ardez, Lower Engadine

The house is in the hand of God
and every thing is known to him
The Church was founded in blood
began in blood
increased in blood and in blood
will end
Idleness is the mother of evil
.. (?) son of Ion
Steiwan Stupaun
