🌲 Legends of the conquest of Spain, Don Roderick Receives an Extraordinary Embassy., sentence 2

Heaven, at this time, say the old Spanish chronicles, permitted a marvellous intimation of the wrath with which it intended to visit the monarch and his people, in punishment of their sins; nor are we, say the same orthodox writers, to startle, and withhold our faith, when we meet in the page of discreet and sober history with these signs and portents, which transcend the probabilities of ordinary life; for the revolutions of empires and the downfall of mighty kings are awful events, that shake the physical as well as the moral world, and are often announced by forerunning marvels and prodigious omens.

Who acts: Heaven, intimation, we, signs, revolutions, that · What happens: say, permit, intend, visit, be, startle · To what, where: old Spanish chronicles, marvellous intimation, monarch, faith, page, probabilities · Speech: someone speaks here
