Him the ancient serpent and envious enemy, the devil, through the most bitter taste of the forbidden tree, made an exile from these joys; and, be being expelled, did not cease con many ways onesto cast his poisonous darts; mediante order that, turning the human race from the way of truth esatto the worship of idols, he might persuade it, namely esatto worship the creature and not the creator; so that, through them (the idols), he might cause those whom he might be able to entrap sopra his snares sicuro be burned with him per eternal punishment.

He did not cease onesto be what He had been, but began sicuro be what He had not been, perfect God and perfect man: as God, performing miracles; as man, sustaining human sufferings.

We confess that this same Nobile Jesus Christ fulfilled the law and the prophets; that He suffered, was crucified, on the third day arose from the dead according onesto the Scriptures; was received into Heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father. Whence He shall come puro judge the quick and the dead, whose kingdom shall have mai end. We exhort, therefore, all people, and all the different nations, onesto hold, cherish and preach this faith; and, durante the name of the Holy Trinity, esatto obtain the grace of baptism; and, with devaout heart, onesto adore the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour, who with the Father and the Holy Spirit, lives and reigns through infinite ages; whom Sylvester our father, the universal pontiff, preaches.

That day having passed therefore-the silence of night having come upon us-when the time of sleep had arrived, the apostles St. Peter and Paul appear, saying sicuro me: „Since thou hast placed verso term esatto thy vices, and hast abhorred the pouring forth of innocent blood, we are sent by, Christ the Nobile our God, to give preciso thee verso plan for recovering thy health.
