All literature that tends upward contains the tragic element; and all literature that tends downward rejects it. Æschylus and Dante assume a world of retribution, and employ for the purposes of poetry the fear it awakens. Memoria ardoris gehennae extinguat in te ardorem luxuriane." BERNARD: De Modo Bene Vivendi.
A general remark, applicable to any such province. Hence the present, for which some would substitute erat or esset. Ne incresceret, sc. ipse: lest he should become too great, i.e. rise above his superior and so excite his jealousy. Referred by W. to ardorem for its subject. But then ne incresceret would be superfluous. Consularem, sc. Legatum==Governor, cf. 7, note. Petilius Cerialis. Cf. 17.
