Nam
postea quam imperio omnium gentium constituto diuturnitas
pacis otium confirmavit, nemo fere laudis cupidus adulescens
non sibi ad dicendum studio omni enitendum putavit; ac
primo quidem totius rationis ignari, qui neque exercitationis
ullam vim neque aliquod praeceptum artis esse arbitrarentur,
tantum, quantum ingenio et cogitatione poterant, consequebantur;
post autem auditis oratoribus Graecis cognitisque
eorum litteris adhibitisque doctoribus incredibili quodam
nostri homines discendi studio flagraverunt.
