Clovis, France, and Rome (Werner, Orbis terrarum Catholicus sive totius ecclesiæ Catholicæ, 1890)

Text: "After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things." Daniel 7:7,8

Quote:

   3. Gallia apostolorum jam temporibus ad fidem christianam converti coepit, et regnum ibidem a Clodoveo, rege Francorum, fundatum primum fuit in occidente mere catholicum, qua re optimo jure nobilissima Gallorum gens "primogenita Ecclesiae filia" appellari meruit privilegiisque iis fruebatur, quae nomen adeo honorificum decerent. [...]

[Google translation: Gaul, of the apostles, from a long time to the Christian faith to be converted, he began to, and a kingdom, to that effect by Clovis, king of the Franks, a sure foundation for the first time was in the west, merely Catholic, what do you make the best of the right of the most noble tribe of Gauls, "the first-born of the Church, the daughter of to be called earned and the privileges they enjoyed, which is the name of so honorable to befit.]
