Context and history
Moral advice in verse, and at the same time a satire: the best known passage says that money can do anything. It was used as a schoolbook in Catalonia for centuries, which says a good deal about how it was read.
Editorial context, not a citable source: unlike the passages of the work itself, these statements cannot be checked against the corpus.

Vale, Roche, Angelicæ vocis citatus famine obtinuisti deificé, á cunctis pestem pellere. ℣Ora pro nobis Beatæ Roquæ. ℞Ut à morbo epidemiæ liberemur. ORATIO Omnipotens sempiterne Deus, qui B. Rochum, famulum tuum peregrinantem, infirmis de epidemia servientem, eodem morbo laborantem Angelo ei nuntiante, ab ipso ipidemiæ morbo liberasti: Præsta quɶsemus nos famulus tuos ejus intercesione ab ipsa peste, & ad omni malo, atque adversitate liberari.
