If I find any alterations by drinking these waters, now six days, it is rather for the better; but, in six days more, I think I shall find with more certainty what humor they are in with me; if kind, I will profit of, but not abuse their kindness; all things have their bounds, 'quos ultra citrave nequit consistere rectum'; and I will endeavor to nick that point.
His only failing was that which the monks regard as his finest quality, he was religious to excess, and this excess of religion went beyond the bounds where 'nequit consistere rectum'. But which is the better, to go beyond these bounds, or not to come up to them? I cannot venture to decide the question. Horace says, "Nulla est mihi religio!"
QUI: = quo modo, as in 4. ANIMO CONSISTERE: so in pro Quint. 77; also mente consistere in Phil. 2, 68; Div. 2, 149; Q. Fr. 2, 3, 2 neque mente neque lingua neque ore consistere. The word is, literally, 'to stand firm', 'to get a firm foothold'. L. BRUTUM: fell in single combat with Aruns, son of the exiled Tarquin; see Liv. 2, 6.
