Supernae igitur maiestatis clementia, quae cuncta solo verbo praeceptionis suae condidit et creavit, caelum videlicet et terram, mare et omnia quae in eis sunt, dispositis ordinibus quibus subsisterent, coaeterni Verbi sui consilio, et sancti Spiritus unitate dispensans, hominem ad imaginem et similitudinem suam ex limo terrae plasmatum constituit, eique tantam praemii praerogativam indulsit, ut eum cunctis praeponeret, atque servato termino praeceptionis, aeternitatis subsistentia praemuniret.
The mercy, therefore, of the high majesty of God, who with the only word of His commandment hath founded and created all things, the heaven to wit and the earth, the sea and all that in them is, setting the degrees, in which they should abide, by the counsel of His eternal Word, and ordering them by the unity of the Holy Ghost, made man (fashioned of the mire of the earth) to His own image and likeness, and gave him such pre-eminence of reward that He set him above all things, and (so that he kept the bounds of His commandment) fenced him with the assurance of immortality.
