Ascendi autem secundem revelationem et contuli cum illis evangelium quod praedico in gentibus seorsum autem his qui videbantur ne forte in vacuum currerem aut curcurrissem. (Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabus, and took Titus with me also. And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I shoudl run, or had run, in vain.)

Nicolas De Lyra (circa 1270-1340) was a French doctor of theology and teacher at the Sorbonne in Paris.
