CRONICAM HUNGARORUM

Per me reges regnant, ait dominus Deus per sapientem Salomonem
Proverbiorum VIII-o capitulo.4 Gloriosus Deus in sanctis suis in
maiestate mirabilis, cuius ineffabilis altitudo prudentie nullis inclusa
limitibus, nullis terminis comprehensa, recti censura iudicii celestia
pariter disponit et terrena. Et si cunctos eius ministros magnificet, et
altis decoret honoribus, et celestis efficiat beatitudinis possessores: illos
tamen, ut dignis digna rependat, potioribus attollit insigniis dignita-
tum, et premiorum uberiori retributione prosequitur, quos digniores
agnoscit, et conmendat ingentior excellentia meritorum,5 prout ap-
paret luculentissime in extollentia regum illustrium et victoriarum
exercitio celebra<ti>ssimarum per reges Hungarorum patratarum.6
