In ea rurfus ferrum ftringatur : ibi

Sed cum nos multis rationibus adi-,

non grauabor id facere, Deo qui
cæcos illuminât confifiis , & qui à

^ Legiflator enim, vt fcjriptum eft initio

Sed 8c his pauperiorem, 8c viliorà of-
ferentem non dedignatur. Simila ,e-
nim, inquit, ent munus eius, parabi-
Ie cuiuis , opinor , & quod extremæ
paupertatis fortem haud multum ex-
