God forbid, says one in Plato, that to philosophise were only to read a great many books, and to learn the arts. "Hanc amplissimam omnium artium bene vivendi disciplinam, vita magis quam literis, persequuti sunt." Cicero, Tusc. One reproaching Diogenes that, being ignorant, he should pretend to philosophy; "I therefore," answered he, "pretend to it with so much the more reason."

We dwell upon this prince not without reason in this particular; for, amongst the Caesars, Hadrian stands forward in high relief as a reformer of the army. Well and truly might it be said of him that, post Caesarem Octavianum labantem disciplinam, incurid superiorum principum, ipse retinuit.

We shall discover if there be prudence in his exercises, if there be sincerity and justice in his deportment, if there be grace and judgment in his speaking; if there be constancy in his sickness; if there be modesty in his mirth, temperance in his pleasures, order in his domestic economy, indifference in palate, whether what he eats or drinks be flesh or fish, wine or water: "Qui disciplinam suam non ostentationem scientiae, sed legem vitae putet: quique obtemperet ipse sibi, et decretis pareat."

The most striking incidents are incidents of discipline. The most striking incident of all is the execution by a commander of his own son for having gained a victory against orders. "Disciplinam militarem," Manlius is made to say, "qua stetit ad hanc diem Romana res." Discipline was the great secret of Roman ascendency in war. It is the great secret of all ascendency in war.

ADMIRARI SATIS NON POSSUM: a favorite form of expression with Cicero; e.g. De Or. 1, 165. DISCIPLINAM: 'morals'; literally 'teaching'.

The particular work of Selden's here referred to is his folio, De Jure Naturali et Gentium juxta Disciplinam Hebraeorum, published in 1640. His work more expressly on Divorce, entitled Uxor Hebraica, sive De Nuptiis ac Divortiis, did not appear till 1646 i.e. it followed Milton's publications on the subject, and in the main backed the opinion they had propounded.

Ergo in hac vita M'. Curius, cum de Samnitibus, de Sabinis, de Pyrrho triumphavisset, consumpsit extremum tempus aetatis; cuius quidem ego villam contemplans, abest enim non longe a me, admirari satis non possum vel hominis ipsius continentiam vel temporum disciplinam.

Any person infringing these papal abolitions, revocations, etc., sins and merits God's anger. Date and place of promulgation. The Council of Trent, Sess.
