Original text and translations

Latin text Isti sunt viri sancti, quos elegit Dominus in charitate non ficta, et dedit illis gloriam sempiternam: quorum doctrina fulget Ecclesia, ut sole luna.

English translation These men are holy, whom the Lord hath chosen in love unfeigned, and has given them glory everlasting: By whose doctrine the Church is made resplendent, even as the moon by the sun.
