But to leave the Ancient Fathers of old time, and to put the matter quite out of doubt, One Antonius Marinarius in the late Council of Trident in open audience said thus: Si Coelum ruat, si Terra evanescat, si Orbis illabatur praeceps, 1ego in eum erectus ero. Si Angelus de Coelo aliud mihi persuadere contendat, ⟨p. 76⟩dicam illi Anathema. 2O Foelicem Christiani pectoris fiduciam: If the Heaven should fall, if the Earth should vanish, if the whole world should come down headlong, yet would I stand priest, and bold before God. If an Angel from Heaven would tell me otherwise, I would accurse him. O the Blessed trust (and certainty) of a Christian Harte.

Yf an Angel from Heauen woulde tel mee otherwise, I would accurse him. O the Blessed truste (and certainetie) of a Christian Harte.
