“Nōn est nostrī ingenī, vestrī auxilī est, iūdicēs, huius innocentiae sīc in hāc calamitōsā fāmā quasi in aliquā perniciōsissimā flammā atque in commūnī incendiō subvenīre.”
1856 translation by C. D. Yonge It is a matter requiring your aid, O judges; it becomes you to come to the assistance of the innocence of this man attacked by such a ruinous calumny, as you would in the case of a destructive fire or of a general conflagration.
“videntur in parte favere temerario studio falsitatis […] asserentes praelatos Ecclesiae Christi animabus mortuorum fidelium remissionum indulgentiis non posse ullatenus subvenire”
They [heretics] seem, in part, to favour a reckless zeal for falsehood […] asserting that the prelates of Christ's church cannot help, to any extent, the souls of the faithful dead with sin-forgiving indulgences
