denique pro meritis terrestribus aequa rependens munera sacricolis summos inpertit honores dux bonus et certare sinit cum laude suorum, nec pago inplicitos per debita culmina mundi ire viros prohibet, quoniam caelestia numquam terrenis solitum per iter gradientibus obstant.
And our good leader, requiting earthly services with equal rewards, gives to the worshippers of idols a share of the highest dignities, allows them to vie with the repute of their families, and forbids not to men who are still in the coils of paganism a career in the topmost worldly ranks when they have deserved them, since the things of heaven never prevent men of earth from passing along the accustomed ways.
