In Duple Proportion Jesus Christ Made Two Natures One
"But after the fullness of time in which the greatest of musicians, Jesus Christ, in whom is our peace, in duple proportion made two natures one, there have flourished in His church many wonderful musicians, as Gregory, Ambrose, Augustine Hilary, Boethius, Martianus, Guido, and Jean de Muris, of whom some estalished the usage of singing in the salutary church itself others composed numerous hymns and canticles for that purpose, others bequeathed to posterity the divinity, others the theory, others the practice of this art, in manuscripts now everywhere dispersed."
