Page 43 - ... corresponds to all the rest of the representation. It was not to deliver an oppressed nation from civil tyranny, or to erect a great civil empire, that is, to achieve one of those acts, which history accounts most heroic. No : it was not a mighty state, a victor people — " Non res Romans perituraque regna — " that was worthy to enter into the contemplation of this divine person.
