tractatio autem varia esse debet, ne aut cognoscat artem qui audiat aut defetigetur similitudinis satietate: proponi oportet quid adferas et qua re ita sit ostendere; ex eisdem illis locis interdum concludere, relinquere alias alioque transire; saepe non proponere ac ratione ipsa adferenda quid proponendum fuerit, declarare; si cui quid simile dicas, prius ut simile dicas confirmes, deinde quod agitur, adiungas; interpuncta argumentorum plerumque occulas, ne quis ea numerare possit, ut re distinguantur, verbis confusa esse videantur.
