And the letter of his great seal, written about, is this; DEUS IN COELO, CHAN SUPER TERRAM, EJUS FORTITUDO. OMNIUM HOMINUM IMPERATORIS SIGILLUM.

See the chapter entitled "Della Malitia e pessíme Conditioni del Tyranno," in Savonarola's "Tractato circa el reggimento e governo della Citta di Firenze composto ad instantia delli excelsi Signori al tempo di Giuliano Salviati, Gonfaloniere di Justitia."

And the lettre of his grete seel, writen abouten, is this, Deus in Celo, Chan super Terram, ejus fortitudo.
Istis duobus Imperatoribus non creditur inueniri maior Dominus sub firmamento Coeli. In literis quae huius Imperatoris Tartariae scribuntur nomine ponitur semper iste Titulus.

Deus in Coelo, Can super terram, eius fortitudo.
