viris probantur, haec summos reges, haec primates non solum
delectavit, verum etiam illustravit. Si difficilia quae sunt, ea sunt et
pulchra, nihil hac operosius, quae tot disciplinis, tantarum rerum
pervestigatione usuque constat. Si dignitate rem aestimamus, quid
excellentius, quam ad dei benignitatem proxime accedere? Si facultate,
quid potentius aut efficacius quam totum hominem certo exitio

periturum sibi posse restituere? Si necessitate, quid aeque necessarium
atque id sine quo nec vivere, nec nasci licet? Si virtute, quid honestius,
quam servare genus humanum? Si utilitate, nullius usus neque maior
est, neque latius patet. Si compendio, aut haec in primis frugifera sit
oportet, aut ingratissimi mortales.
Vobis igitur magnopere gratulor, eximii viri, quibus contingit in hoc
pulcherrimo genere professionis excellere.
Vos adhortor, optimi juvenes, hanc toto pectore complectimini, in hanc
nervis omnibus incumbite, quae vobis decus, gloriam, autoritatem, opes
est conciliatura, per quam vos vicissim amicis, patriae, atque adeo
mortalium generi non mediocrem utilitatem estis allaturi.
Dixi.
