Page 421 - Diligite inimicos vestros, benefacite eis qui oderunt vos, et orate pro persequentibus et calumniantibus vos, ut sitis filii Patris vestri, qui in coelis est, qui solem suum oriri facit super bonos et malos, et pluit super justos et injustos.

Page 30 - ... confecerunt. Etenim, mens humana si agat in materiam, naturam rerum et opera Dei contemplando, pro modo materiae operatur, atque ab eadem determinatur ; sin ipsa in se vertatur (tanquam aranea texens telam) tum demum interminata est, et parit certe telas quasdam doctrinae, tenuitate fili operisque admirabiles, sed quoad usum frivolas et inanes.
Page vi - They put a force upon their natural genius, and in straining of it crack and disable it. And so it seems it happened to that worthy and elegant man. Upon this great occasion he would be over-accurate ; and he sent a specimen of such superfine Latinity, that the Lord Bacon did not encourage him to labour further in that work...
Page 374 - Ad Paedagogicam quod attinet, brevissimum foret dictu, Consule scholas Jesuitarum : nihil enim, quod in usum venit, his melius.
