The sonnet was published in Sarra Copia's "Manifesto" as a preface to her [[pamphlet]] that defends her belief in the [[immortality of the soul]] and [[Critique|critiques]] the abuse of the [[printing press]]. The sonnet is a prayer to God, asking him to help clear up the accusations and misunderstandings people have about her after the Italian priest [[Baldassarre Bonifacio|Baldassare Bonifaccio]] accused her of denying the immortality of the soul.
