lat 524 A.D. III,9p

Quod enim simplex est indiuisumque natura, id error humanus separat et a uero atque perfecto ad falsum imperfectumque traducit.

ger Notker ca. 950-1022 A.D.

Et traducit a uero atque perfecto ad falsum . imperfectumque. Únde ferfûoret iz ába demo uuâren . únde demo dúrnóhten . ze demo lúkken . únde demo úndúrnohten.

(fra Simon de Freine ca. 1189-1200) fra Jean de Meun ca. 1300

Car la chose qui est une et simple ne ne puet estre devisee, erreur et folie humaine la depart et devise et la destourne et transporte du bien vrai et parfait au bien faus et non parfait.

eng Chaucer 1343-1400 A.D.

For thilke thing that simply is o thing, with-outen any devisioun, the errour and folye of mankinde departeth and devydeth it, and misledeth it and transporteth from verray and parfit good to goodes that ben false and unparfit .

eng Elizabeth 1593 A.D. p.57, 8-10

Whan that wiche vnmixt and by nature vnparted is, that humaine error partz, and from the true and right to falz and wanting brings.
