[10] Tria deinde ex praecepto veteri praestanda sunt ut vitentur: odium, invidia, contemptus. Quomodo hoc fiat, sapientia sola monstrabit Difficile enim [p. 90] temperamentum est, verendumque, ne in contemptum nos invidiae 1 timor transferat ne dum calcare nolumus, videamur posse calcari.

1 invidiae Muretus; invidia et MSS.
