Sed assiduitate quotidiana et consuetudine oculorum assuescunt animi, neque admirantur neque requirunt rationes earum rerum, quas semper vident, perinde quasi novit as nos magis quam magnitudo rerum debeat ad exquirendas causas excitare. SECT. IV. All Nature shows the Existence of its Maker. But, after all, whole nature shows the infinite art of its Maker.
"Consuetudine oculorum assuescunt animi, neque admirantur, neque requirunt rationes earum rerum, quas semper vident."

"Rumoresque serunt varios et multa requirunt." "Confimat dictis simul atque exsuscitat acres Ad bellandum animos reficitque ad praelia mentes." Many of the critics of this period also wrote poems.

The first are abrogated at the coming of Christ,” &c.
