proinde quia dicitur haec ipsa pernicies appropinquare, cuius proditionibus deus obviet, praeveni morbum providentiae salubritate contraque lites iurgiosorum, si quae moventur, pactionibus consule, contra tributa securitatibus, ne malus homo rebus bonorum vel quod noceat vel quod praestet inveniat.
And so, as that very plague (whose betrayals may God prevent!) is said to be approaching, forestall the disease by wholesome foresight, contrive to obviate the lawsuits of the quarrelsome, if any such are being instituted, by agreements, contrive to obviate demands for tribute by official receipts, so that this evil man may find no scope either for injuring or assisting the fortunes of good men.
