No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.
Extensive searches across multiple scholarly and library catalogs (including local catalogs, Open Library, Internet Archive, and OpenAlex) yielded no records of an English translation for Ludovicus de Comitibus's 1664 work, 'A Clear and Faithful Admonitory Disputation' (likely 'Disputatio admonitiva'). Given the specialized nature of this 17th-century alchemical text, it is highly probable that no English translation exists.
