Ille vero fortunae benignitatem a
se non summovebit et patrimonio per honesta quaesito
nec gloriabitur nec erubescet. Habebit tamen
etiam quo glorietur, si aperta domo et admissa in
res suas civitate poterit dicere : " Quod quisque
agnoverit, tollat." O magnum virum. O1 optime
divitem, si post hanc vocem tantundem habuerit !
Ita dico : si tuto et securus scrutationem populo
praebuerit, si nihil quisquam apud illum invenerit,
quoi manus iniciat, audaciter et propalam erit dives.
