Adsuescamus a nobis removere pompam, et usus rerum, non orna- menta, metiri. Cibus famem domet, potio sitim, libido qua necesse est fluat; discamus membris nostris inniti, cultum victumque non ad nova exempla componere, sed ut maiorum mores suadent ; dis- camus continentiam augere, luxuriam coercere, gloriam temperare, iracundiam lenire, paupertatem aequis oculis aspicere, frugalitatem colere, etiam si multos pudebit, eo plus desideriis naturalibus parvo parata remedia adhibere, spes effrenatas et animum in futura imminentem velut sub vinculis habere, id agere, ut divitias a nobis potius quam a fortuna petamus.
