"All wizards and witches are the professed and sworn enemies of God. O prince, O King, let not witches live!"
– Jeremias Drexel

Drexel also wrote several works relating to heaven, Christian zodiac, and the unknowns of eternity. 'Caelum Beatorum Civitas Aeternitatis' is a treatise on heaven, the behaviors and attributes of God, the joys of experiencing God, and the keys to eternal life.
