Latin
De religione curam principi esse; unam illi retindenam; puniendos, nisi aliter expediat, qui dissentiunt; falsam pacem esse tolerantismum; hunc esse Divini Numinis irrisionem, publicae felicitatis, et legum destructorem.
English
The prince should take care of religion; to keep only one; to punish dissidents; if another thing is not convenient. Tolerantism is a false peace; a ridicule of the divinity and destroyer of the public happiness and of the laws.
Justus Lipsius, cited in Juan Bautista Morales. Disertación contra la tolerancia religiosa [Dissertation against religious toleration]. Mexico, 1831.
