Haud Aliter

Here is today's emblem and distich by Joachim Camerarius, 1:8. You can see the well-watered palm flourishing in the emblem, a symbol of the righteous man who flourishes because he is watered by the word of God.

Palma velut riguos nunquam pallescit ad amnes,
Sic viret ad Verbi flumina sacra pius.
