Quomodo sint di colendi, solet praecipi. Accendere aliquem lucernas sabbatis prohibeamus, quoniam nec lumine di egent et ne homines quidem delectatur fuligine, vetemus salutationibus matutinis fungi et foribus adsidere templorum; humana ambitio istis officiis capitur, deum colit qui novit, vetemus lintea et strigiles Iovi ferre et speculum tenere Iunoni; non quaerit ministros deus. Quidni? Ipse humano generi ministrat, ubique et omnibus praesto est.
