In our abbey we never study for fear of the mumps, which disease in horses is called the mourning in the chine. Our late abbot was wont to say that it is a monstrous thing to see a learned monk. By G , master, my friend, Magis magnos clericos non sunt magis magnos sapientes. You never saw so many hares as there are this year. I could not anywhere come by a goshawk nor tassel of falcon.

Yet albeit the Pharisees were called sapientes Israelis, Bishop Lindsey will not grant that they were the wise men of whom the Talmud speaketh; for, saith he, it behoved those who appointed festivities, not only to be wise men, but men of authority also. But what do we hear? Were not the Pharisees men of authority? Why, saith not Christ they sat in Moses’ chair? Matt. xxiii. 2.

"Adam," said the friar, laying his broad palm on the student's reluctant shoulders, "inter sapentes." "Sapientes, brother," groaned Adam. "That's the old form, Adam," quoth the friar, superciliously, "sapentes is the last improvement. I say, between wise men there is no envy. Our noble and puissant patroness, the Duchess of Bedford, hath committed to me a task that promiseth much profit.

Sed nec propter credentes nec sapientes satis mouebor; tamen vt diuersa Dei opera qui respicere non possunt oculo, saltem legant, vel audiant ex hoc scripto. Pauca vtique vidi horum quae sunt, sed pauca horum quae vidi, narrabo. De Armenia, Persia, et Amazonia.

Alas! what good reason I have not to drink, and how excellently spoke Saint-Benoit: 'Vinum apostatare facit etiam sapientes!" At that moment, Clopin returned and shouted in a voice of thunder: "Midnight!"

And 'twas so in former times; for Plutarch says that Greek and Scholar were terms of reproach and contempt amongst the Romans. But since, with the better experience of age, I find they had very great reason so to do, and that "Magis magnos clericos non sunt magis magnos sapientes."

The feast of the dedication was not free of Pharisaical invention. For as Tremellius observeth out of the Talmud, statuerunt sapientes illius seculi, ut recurrentibus annis, octo illi dies, &c.

"Adam," said the friar, laying his broad palm on the student's reluctant shoulders, "inter sapentes." "Sapientes, brother," groaned Adam.

Certainly, of those which conceive that their souls departed take any comfort therein, it may be truly said of them, which Lactantius spake of certain heathen philosophers, "quod sapientes sunt in re stulta."

Ut enim adulescentibus bona indole praeditis sapientes senes delectantur, leviorque fit senectus eorum qui a iuventute coluntur et diliguntur, sic adulescentes senum praeceptis gaudent, quibus ad virtutum studia ducuntur, nec minus intellego me vobis quam mihi vos esse iucundos.
