Externa ratio quaerat
sensibus irritata et capiens inde principia—nec enim
habet aliud, unde conetur aut unde ad verum impetum capiat—, at1 in se revertatur. Nam mundus
quoque cuncta complectens rectorque universi deus
in exteriora quidem tendit, sed tamen introrsum
undique in se redit. Idem nostra mens faciat ; cum
secuta sensus suos per illos se ad externa porrexerit,
et illorum et sui potens sit.
