Even without the Word, some God-knowledge reaches nearly every people.

Almost no nation lacks some religion and some cult of divinity.

Conscience terrors drag even the most lost toward God's tribunal.

Latin

V. Unde factum, ut etiam citra revelationem, qua Deus seipsum in verbo cognoscendum praebuit, nonnulla Dei cognitio ad omnes fere homines promanarit. Siquidem nulla, aut pene nulla gens est, cui non sit aliqua religionis forma, & qualiscunque divinitatis cultus. Nec aliunde proveniunt conscientiae terrores & morsus, qui etiam improbissimos & perditissimos quosque, qui omnem Dei timorem excutere conantur, quamvis invitos protrahunt ad ipsius tribunal, & divinae vindictae horrorem illis incutiunt.
