Proximus <a> militaribus institutis ad urbana castra, id est theatra, gradus faciendus est, quoniam haec quoque saepenumero animosas acies instruxerunt, excogitataque cultus deorum et hominum delectationis causa non sine aliquo pacis rubore voluptatem et religionem civili sanguine scaenicorum portentorum gratia macularunt.
From military institutions we must pass to the next step, the city camps, that is to say the theatres, since they too often drew up doughty battle lines. Invented for the worship of the gods and the enjoyment of men, they stained pleasure and religion with civil bloodshed for the sake of the monstrosities on the stage; and peace blushed.
