Answer:

"There are two powers, august Emperor, by which this world is chiefly ruled, namely, the sacred authority of the priests and the royal power."

Step-by-step explanation:

In 494, Pope Gelasius I wrote that letter about the "two powers" specifically aiming towards that they were swords. (The letter above was translated from Latin, because it was written originally written in Latin)
