Non postulat videri doctior vel sanctior quam est: non lacerat proximum ad commendationem sui, quod contentiosa facit sapientia. Non solum propter prædicta debet hujusmodi sapientiam appetere, sed etiam ideo; quia a facientibus pacem quasi jacientibus hoc semen seminatur, et præparatur in pace æternæ beatitudinis fructus, id est merces justitiæ, quæ pro justis operibus retribuitur. Qui igitur hic studet paci, et terram cordis sui operibus pacis quasi semente aspergit, justum est ut habeat æternam pacem, quasi fructum hujus seminis.

Who igitur this studet paci, and the_earth/land cordis sui operibus pacis as_if semente aspergit, justum it_is as have eternal pacem, as_if fructum huyus seminis.
