Videte igitur, ne ille regna dispenset cuius est et orbis qui regnatur et homo ipse qui regnat, ne ille vices dominationum ipsis temporibus in saeculo ordinarit qui ante omne tempus fuit et saeculum corpus temporum fecit, ne ille civitates extollat aut deprimat sub quo fuit sine civitatibus aliquando gens hominum.
Look to it then, lest it prove that He dispenses the kingdoms, Whose is the world that is reigned over and the man who reigns; lest it be He that has ordained the progression of empires each at its time in the worlds story, He who was ere time was, who made the worlds story of all the times; lest it be He who extols the cities or brings them low, He under whom mankind was once without cities at all.
