si militarem dixero forte personam, protinus in haec verba consurgitur: Sidonius ad clericatum quia de saeculari professione translatus est, ideo sibi assumere metropolitanum de religiosa congregatione dissimulat; natalibus turget, dignitatum fastigatur insignibus, contemnit pauperes Christi.
If I nominate a member of the Government service, all will rise to their feet saying: Because Sidonius was transferred to the ranks of the clergy from a secular profession, he is reluctant to take as colleague a metropolitan from the ranks of the clergy: he is swollen with pride of birth; he is uplifted by the insignia of his dignities; he looks down on the poor of Christ.
