 Pseud, ii. 2. 14, Condus promus sum procurator pern. Baret (Alvearie) 

 gives : He that hath the keeping of a storehouse, or drie larder : also a 

 buttler. Promus. And A Steward, or he that keepeth the store of 

 houshold. Condus. Bacon in this passage evidently regards condus as 

 the officer who collected the stores, and promus the one who dispensed 

 them, so called quia promit quod conditum est. [n, 12] whereof the 

 latter seemeth to be the worthier: In the Latin this is expanded; Atqne 

 hie posterior, qui Activus est et veluti Promus, potentior videtur et dignior ; 

 tile autem prior, qui Passivus est et veluti Condus, inferior censeri potest.

 though in some case it hath an incidence into it : Lat. quamquam 

 nonmmquam ambo coincident. [13] gigantine : i.e. seditious, rebel 

 lious, like the giants who warred against the gods. See p. 103, and 

 Ess. xv. [16] Sylla s epitaph, written by himself, was this, That no
