“Omnes res creatse sunt divinse sapientise et potentiae testes, divitiae felicitatis 
humanae : — ex harum usu honitas Creatoris ; ex pulchritudine sapientia Domini ; ex 
oeconomia in conservatione, proportione, renovatione, potentia majestatis elucet. Earum 
itaque indagatio ab hominibus sibi relictis semper aestimata; ^ verd eruditis et sapien* 
tibus semper exculta; maid doctis et barbaris semper inimica fuit.” — Linn.®us.
