Sic dicimus eum, qui beneficium bono
animo accipit, gratiam rettulisse, nihilo minus illum
in aere alieno relinquimus gratiam relaturum, etiam
cum rettulit. Exhortatio est illa, non infitiatio beneficii, ne1 beneficia timeamus, ne ut intolerabili sarcina pressi deficiamus animo. " Bona mihi donata sunt et
fama defensa, detractae sordes, spiritus servatus2 et
libertas spiritu potior. Et quomodo referre gratiam
potero ? Quando ille veniet dies, quo illi animum
meum ostendam ?
