He found the work easy, except epigram-writing, which he thought "excessively stupid and laborious," but helped himself out, when scholarship failed, with native wit.

He was not learned in his profession: And his eloquence, though viciously copious, yet was neither correct nor agreeable. Swift. Like Burnet's eloquence.

ACUTIS: requiring keenness of intellect.

Itaque volui hoc ad te scribere, ut loquaris cum Cosmo, desque solicite operam, ut haec volumina quaerantur; nam facile erit vobis.

Scribere quod Cassi Parmensis opuscula vincat; An tacitum silvas inter reptare salubres, Curantem quicquid dignam sapiente bonoque est? Epist. i. 4.
