et quia sententiam parvitatis meae in hac electione valituram esse iurastis, siquidem non est validius dicere sacramenta quam scribere, in nomine patris et filii et spiritus sancti Simplicius est, quem provinciae nostrae metropolitanum, civitati vestrae summum sacerdotem fieri debere pronuntio.
Well, since you have sworn that the verdict of my humble self shall hold good in this election (for an oath spoken has no less validity than a written one), in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, Simplicius is the man whom I declare worthy to become Metropolitan of our province and chief priest of your city.
