Without the porch, the moonlight full upon his harsh features and sturdy frame, stood the ill-omened Traveller. "Can he not be sociable?" Troilus and Cressida. "Subit quippe etiam ipsius inertiae dulcedo; et invisa primo desidia postremo amatur." Tacitus. "How use doth breed a habit in a man!

I am, &c. No. 175. Rari quippe boni, numerus vix est totidem quot Thebarum portoe, vel divitis ostia Nili. JUV. Sat. xiii. 26.

It seems that, according to this system, God could have said, even before shaping his decrees: I cannot save such and such a man, nor condemn such and such another, quippe vetor fatis, my wisdom permits it not.
