Agebat itaque nihil interim de statu rerum praesentium mutans, sed animo tranquillo et quieto incidentia cuncta disponens, paulatimque sese corroborans, ut dignitatis augmento, virium quoque congruerent incrementa. Utque omnes nullo impediente, ad sui favorem illiceret, adhaerere cultui Christiano fingebat, a quo iam pridem occulte desciverat, arcanorum participibus paucis, haruspicinae auguriisque intentus, et ceteris quae deorum semper fecere cultores. Et ut haec interim celarentur, feriarum die, quem celebrantes mense Ianuario Christiani Epiphania dictitant, progressus in eorum ecclesiam, sollemniter numine orato discessit.
