etenim supervacuus foret
in studiis longior labor, si nihil liceret melius invenire
praeteritis. neque tamen quidquam ex iis, quae
tum praecepi, supervacuum fuit; ad easdem enim
particulas haec quoque, quae nunc praecipiam, revertentur; ita neminem didicisse paeniteat, colligere
tantum eadem ac disponere paulo significantius conor.
omnibus autem satisfactum volo, non me hoc serius
demonstrare aliis, quam mihi ipse persuaserim.
