nam sacerdotis pater filiusque pontificis, nisi sanctus est, rubo similis efficitur, quem de rosis natum rosasque parientem et genitis gignentibusque floribus medium pungentibus comparanda peccatis dumorum vallat asperitas.
For the father of a priest and the son of a bishop, if he is not holy, becomes like a briar which, being sprung from roses and producing roses, and placed between the flowers it has produced and those which produced it, is enclosed by prickly thorns as are bushes symbolising the sins which prick the soul.
