This person and his tutor are both marvellous and bold artificers everywhere to add divine operations and revelations where human force is wanting: "Ut tragici poetae confugiunt ad deum, cum explicare argumenti exitum non possunt:" Cicero, De Nat. and peradventure, for this reason it was that Timon, railing at him, called him the great forger of miracles.
Observe the alliteration, as if he had said: measure the mass and might. Exitus, i.e. migrationis. Often used in this sense, cf. Caes. B.C. 3, 69: Salutem et exitum sibi pariebant. Fidem, proof.

It were better always to have room for hope; and this is an occasion, with a thousand others, where our ignorance is beneficial. Prudens futuri temporis exitum Caliginosa nocte premit Deus.
I shall now place the passage before the reader in the Latin, as it was written by Bracciolini, with some words in Italics, upon which I shall afterwards comment: "Cum pertinacius in erroribus perseveraret, per Concilium haeresis damnatus est, et igni combustus. Jucunda fronte et alacri vultu ad exitum suum accessit, non ignem expavit, non tormenti genus, non mortis.
Deus Optimus maximus hominis votis atque alacritati faueat, initia secundet, successus fortunet, exitum foelicissimum concedat. Vale amice ac Domine singularis. Arusburgi ad Ossellam fluuium 20. Februarij 1581. Tuus quantus quantus sum Ioannes Balakus. The same in English.
