Original text and translations

German text Die zeit so jetz vorhanden ist / voller untrew und falscher list / schaffet das mancher untrew muß werden / geben gute wort die er nit meint / erzeigen sich freundlich gegen sein feind / und keinem menschen vertraw auff erden.

English translation The time that now persists, full of disloyalty and devious deceit, makes that many must become untrue, speak kindly when he doesn’t mean it, are friendly to their foes, and do not trust anyone on earth. Translation by Gerhard Weydt
