quod si tot rerum gradibus totiens variatis consiliis aegre tandem pervenit ad illud quod probet ac sancto reverentia publica servet foedere, quid dubitat divina agnoscere iura ignorata prius sibimet tandemque retecta? gratemur, iam non dubitat; nam subdita Christo servit Roma Deo cultus exosa priores.
Now if by all these stages, changing its mind so often, it attained at last only with difficulty to something which the nations respect can approve and keep by inviolate covenant, why does it hesitate to recognise the authority of God, which was unknown to it before and only at last disclosed? Let us wish it joy, for it no longer hesitates now. Rome has subjected herself to Christ and serves God, loathing her former worships.
