Art/Literary - Religion / citation of the medieval religious book | | Latin term or phrase: quo nisi habuisset orbis iam olim ob nimiam hominum impietatem totus justo | | judicio DEI conflagrasset" it continues... it should be citation of the book Vita B. Ruysbrochii. I am really sorry for this long citation, but I am not able to find the citation because I do not know which part of the book it is :(. |

| | English translation:because, unless he had held/maintained so, the whole world would have been burnt to a crisp at some | Explanation:
habuisset is hard to translate without knowing who the subject is. It's basic meaning is "hold", referring to either physical things or abstractions (ideas). I'll guess that we are referring to ideas here.

because, unless he had held/maintained so, the whole world would have been burnt to a crisp at some earlier point, due to the just judgment of GOD. |
