“Number the priests in the very chair of Peter,
And see in that order of fathers who succeeded the other”
Venite fratres, si vultis ut inseramini in vite;
Dolor est cum vos videmus praecisos ita jacere.
Numerate sacerdotes vel ab ipsa Petri sede;
Et in ordine illo Patrum quis cm successit videte.
Ipsa est petra, quam non vincunt superbae inferorum portae. (PL 43:30 [http://books.google.com/books?id=SXPYAAAAMAAJ&pg=RA1-PT3]).
Publications of the Catholic Truth Society (1895), Catholic Truth Society, London, vol. 24, p. 42. http://books.google.com/books?id=uIYQAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA42
Alternate translation: Come brethren, if you have a mind to be ingrafted in the vine,
It is a pity to see you lopped off in this manner From the stock.
Reckon up the prelates in the very see of Peter;
And in that order of fathers see which has succeeded which.
This is the rock over which the proud gates of hell prevail not. (A reference to Matthew 16:18 http://biblehub.com/matthew/16-18.htm.)

Context: Come, brethren, if you wish to be engrafted in the vine.
It grieves us to see you thus lie cut off.
Number the priests in the very chair of Peter,
And see in that order of fathers who succeeded the other.
This is the rock which the proud gates of hell overcome not.

Attributed at an unspecified date when Lincoln was a young lawyer, apparently first reported in the Prairie Farmer (March 13, 1886), Volume 58, p. 176. The quote, taken as a whole, has been explained to mean that Lincoln was giving a negative character reference, implying that the subject of that reference was not financially stable, and prone to let details slip.
