1797.

Dilucida et negligenter quoque audientibus aperta; ut in animum ratio tanquam sol in oculos, etiamsi in eam non intendatur, occurrat. Quare, non ut intelligere possit, sed ne omnino possit non intelligere, curandum.

QUINTIL.

If you would make a speech, or write one, Or get some artist to indite one, Don't think, because 'tis understood By men of sense, 'tis therefore good; But let your words so well be plann'd, That blockheads can't misunderstand.
