in quorum potestate sunt, certi et inpares se esse et hoc magis perditos, ingratis resistimus ut aequales et repugnamus perseverantes in eo quod oppugnant et illos nunquam magis detriumpha-mus quam cum pro fideli obstinatione damnamur.
(in whose power they are)'though they well know they are no match for us and are only so much the more damned for it,'we have no choice but to hold our ground against them, conscious we are a match for thema; we put up a fight against them, and stand stubbornly on the point they assail. And our triumph over them is never greater than when for our obstinacy in our faith we are condemned.
