Magna cura praecipuoque studio referendum est quantopere libidinis et auaritiae furori similis impetus ab inlustrium uirorum pectoribus consilio ac ratione summoti sint, quia ii demum penates, ea ciuitas, id regnum aeterno in gradu facile steterit, ubi minimum uirium ueneris pecuniaeque cupido sibi uindicauerit: nam quo istae generis humani certissimae pestes penetrarunt, iniuria dominatur, infamia flagrat, uis habitat, bella gignuntur. fauentibus igitur linguis contrarios his tam diris uitiis mores commemoremus.
