Paradisisches Wunder-Spiel, welches sich in diesen letzten Zeiten und Tagen in denen abend-ländischen Welt-Theilen als ein Vorspiel der neuen Welt hervor gethan. Bestehende in einer gantz neuen und ungemeinen Sing-Art auf Weise der englishen und himmlischen Chören eingerichtet. ... Alles nach englischen Chören Gesangs-Weise mit viel Mühe und grossem Fleiss ausgefertiget von einem Friedsamen, der sonst in dieser Welt weder Namen noch Titul suchet.
