Quae enim illa gravitas sententiarum, quam inadfectata veritas verborum, quae adseveratio in voce, quae adfirmatio in vultu, quanta in oculis habitu gestu, toto denique corpores fides! Tenebit ergo semper quid suaserit, scietque nos, quotiens libertatem quam dedit experiemur, sibi parere.
Only consider the seriousness of his sentiments, the unaffected candour of his words, the assurance in his voice and decision in his countenance, and the complete sincerity of his gaze, his pose and gestures, in fact of his entire person! So, we may be sure, he will always remember the advice he gave us, and will always understand that in making use of the freedom he granted we are acting only in obedience to him.
