... quorum animi altius se extulerunt et
aliquid dignum dono, ut ante dixi, deorum aut efficere [p. 333]
aut excogitare potuerunt. Quare sint nobis isti, qui
de ratione vivendi disserunt, magni homines, ut sunt,

quidem contemnenda, ratio civilis et disciplina
populorum, quae perficit in bonis ingeniis, id quod
iam persaepe perfecit, ut incredibilis quaedam et divina virtus exsisteret.
