ac me dubitasse
confiteor, an hanc partem quaestionis tractandam
putarem; nam quis est adeo non ab eruditione modo
sed a sensu remotus hominis, ut fabricandi quidem
et texendi et e luto vasa ducendi artem putet, rhetoricen autem, maximum ac pulcherrimum, ut supra
diximus, opus, in tam sublime fastigium existimet
sine arte venisse?
