Paulus, praeco Dei, qui fera gentium primus corda sacro perdomuit stilo, Christum per populos ritibus asperis inmanes placido dogmate seminans, inmansueta suas ut cerimonias gens pagana Deo sperneret agnito, actus turbinibus forte nigerrimis hibernum pelagus iam rate debili et vim navifragi pertulerat noti.
Paul, the herald of God, who first with his holy pen subdued the wild hearts of the Gentiles and with his peaceable teaching propagated the knowledge of Christ over barbarous nations that followed savage ways, so that the untamed pagan race might come to know God and reject its own rituals, chanced once to be driven before a black tempest and with his ship disabled endured a stormy sea and a furious, wrecking wind.
