Sequens sensus mirificus est, qui uno
bene posito beneficio multorum amissorum damna
solatur. Vide, oro te, ne hoc et verius sit et magnitudini bene facientis aptius, ut illum hortemur ad
danda, etiam si nullum bene positurus est. Illud enim
falsum est " perdenda sunt multa " ; nullum perit,
quia, qui perdit, computaverat.
