「教会的第五个时期大约始于1520年，而结束于神圣教宗和被称为“从天主而来的帮助”的大能君王的到来，因为大能君王将恢复（在基督里的）一切…… 」

“Duringthis period the Wisdom of God guides the Church in. several ways:
「在这期间，天主的智慧引导教会。有以下几个方面：
1) by chastising the Church so thatriches may not corrupt her completely;
1）通过惩罚教会，使财富不至于完全败坏她教会；
2) by interposing the Council of Trentlike a light in the darkness, so that the Christians who see the light may knowwhat to believe;

“Duringthis period, many men will abuse the freedom of conscience conceded to them. Itis of such men that Jude the Apostle spoke when he said, ‘These men blasphemewhatever they do not understand; and they corrupt whatever they know naturallyas irrational animals do…
「在这期间，许多人会滥用良心的自由。使徒犹达说：“这些人亵渎他们所不明白的，并且败坏他们所知道的，如同无理性的动物一样…
（评注：经上原文如此：「这些人却不然，凡他们所不明白的事就亵渎，而他们按本性所体验的事，却像无理性的畜牲一样，就在这些事上败坏自己。 」犹达书 1:10）
They feast together without restraint,feeding themselves, grumbling mur murers, walking according to their lusts;their mouth speaketh proud things, they admire people for the sake of gain;they bring about division, sensual men, having not the spirit.’”
他们不受约束地大吃大喝，满足自己的欲望，满腹牢骚，照着自己的私欲而行，他们的口说骄傲的事，他们为了利益谄媚人，他们带来分裂，是属血气没有灵的人。

“Theywill ridicule Christian simplicity; they will call it folly and nonsense, butthey will have the highest regard for advanced knowledge, and for the skill bywhich the axioms of the law, the precepts of morality, the Holy Canons and religiousdogmas are clouded by senseless questions and elaborate arguments.
「他们会嘲笑基督徒的单纯；他们会称其为愚蠢和荒谬，但他们会高度重视先进的知识，以及法律公理运用的技巧、道德的训诫，而神圣的法典和宗教教义被毫无意义的问题和精心推敲的论证所掩盖。
As a result, no principle at all,however holy, authentic, ancient, and certain it may be, will remain free ofcensure, criticism, false interpretation, modification, and delimitation byman…”
这样的结果，沒有任何的原则，无论它是多么神圣、真实、古老和确定，都难免被人们责难、批评、错误的解释、修改，和界定…… 」
