nova ibi verba, quia vetusta, quibusque conlatus merito etiam antiquarum litterarum stilus antiquaretur; quodque pretiosius, tota illa dictio sic caesuratim succincta, quod profluens; quam rebus amplam strictamque sententiis sentias plus docere quam dicere.
There one finds words which are new because they are old'indeed the language even of antique literature would justly fall from favour by comparison with it. A more valuable merit is that all that diction flows freely, though broken up into short groups of words; and with the abundance of matter and the conciseness of phrase, it seems to teach more than it expresses.
