Arae spectent ad orientem et semper inferiores sint conlocatae quam simulacra quae fuerint in aede, uti suspicientes divinitatem, qui supplicant, et sacrificant, disparibus altitudinibus ad sui cuiusque dei decorem componantur.
Let the altars look to the east and be always placed lower than the images which shall be in the temple; so that those who pray and sacrifice may look up to the divinity from various levels as becomes each mans god.
