2712. It was they who spoke later, saying they were surprised that all are not like this, as they are struck with such delight that the enjoyment with them from those things surpassed every other. So corrupt is the world today and such the heredity is becoming and spreading thence by various routes to future generations; therefore, are not the last times at hand? Formerly unheard of things have been generated, which are destroying the human nature-just as with those who finally perished by the flood.

The world at this day is thus corrupt, and such has become the hereditary [principle], and so diffuses itself into posterities by various ways are not, therefore, the last times at hand? Things are generated before unheard of, which destroy the nature of man, like as with those who perished at last by the deluge.

prius inaudita, generata sunt, quae perdunt naturam hominis; sicut apud eos qui tandem perierunt diluvio.
