This a liberal translation with additions by Costerus of ''antwoorde op de hollandtsche sententie tegen Pieter Panne''. Pieter Panne, a native of Ypres, was accused, convicted and beheaded for trying to murder Maurits of Orange at the wedding of Amelie, daughter of Marnix van Sint-Aldegonde. It was alleged that he acted on the instigation of the Jesuits of Douai (Dowaai), hence this defense of the Jesuits by Costerus against the Calvinists. This ex-dono copy belonged to Franciscus Schott (died 1625), brother of Andreas Schott. In 1621 F. Schott was professor of music at the Antwerp Jesuit college (Droeshout, Annales du collège d'Anvers, III , 286). .
