equidem si humana substantia rectius mole quam mente censenda est, plurimum ignoro, quid secundum corpulentiam per spatia quamvis porrecta finalem in homine miremur, quo nihil aeque miserum destitutumque nascendi condicio produxit.
Really, if the human make-up is to be assessed in terms of matter, not of mind, I for my part quite fail to see what we are to admire in man beyond his bodily bulk (and this, though it may cover a considerable space is nevertheless subject to limits).
