... accepi, sed certe non minus. Ne traham
longius, beneficium maius esse non potest ; ea, per
quae beneficium datur, possunt esse maiora et plura,
in quae se denique benevolentia effundat et sic sibi
indulgeat, quemadmodum amantes solent, quorum
plura oscula et complexus artiores non augent
amorem, sed exercent.
