Hoc video, dum
breviter voluerim dicere, dictum a me esse paulo obscurius;
sed experiar et dicam, si potero, planius. Omnia fere, quae
sunt conclusa nunc artibus, dispersa et dissipata quondam
fuerunt; ut in musicis numeri et voces et modi; in geometria
lineamenta, formae, intervalla, magnitudines; in
astrologia caeli conversio, ortus, obitus motusque siderum;
in grammaticis poetarum pertractatio, historiarum cognitio,
verborum interpretatio, pronuntiandi quidam sonus; in hac
denique ipsa ratione dicendi excogitare, ornare, disponere,
meminisse, agere, †ignota quondam omnibus et diffusa late
videbantur.

Adhibita est igitur ars quaedam extrinsecus ex
alio genere quodam, quod sibi totum philosophi adsumunt,
quae rem dissolutam divulsamque conglutinaret et ratione
quadam constringeret. Sit ergo in iure civili finis hic:
legitimae atque usitatae in rebus causisque civium aequabilitatis
conservatio.
