Replicare nunc est opportunum (ut aliquotiens fecimus), et ab ortu primigenio patris huius principis ad usque ipsius obitum, actus eius discurrere per epilogos brevis, nec vitiorum praetermisso discrimine, vel bonorum, quae potestatis amplitudo monstravit, nudare solita semper animorum interna.
It is now in place to go back and (as we have often done) in a brief epilogue run through the deeds of this emperor, from the very birth of his father to his own decease, without omitting to distinguish his faults or his good qualities, brought to light as they were by greatness of power, which is always wont to lay bare a mans inmost character.
