History is in a manner a sacred thing, so far as it contains truth; for where truth is, the supreme Father of it may also he said to be, at least, in as much as concerns truth.[translation by John Willis Clark]History is in a measure a sacred thing, for it should be true, and where the truth is, there God is.[translation by John Ormsby][La historia es como cosa sagrada; porque ha de ser verdadera, y donde está la verdad está Dios, en cuanto a verdad.]
