Ecce quondam tumidus, iam substratus sanctorum pedibus servit oceanus, eiusque barbaros motus quos terreni principes edomare ferro nequiverant, hos pro divina formidine sacerdotum ora simplicibus verbis ligant, et qui catervas pugnantium infidelis nequaquam metueret, iam nunc fidelis humilium linguas timet.
Behold the ocean sea once swelling high, now made calm, obeyeth to the feet of holy men; and the furious floods thereof which earthly princes with force could never fray, the same for fear of God the lips of priests doth bind with bare words; and though that sea had no fear at all of the unbelieving hosts of fighting men, yet doth it now tremble at the tongues of humble believers.
