quid enim inmortalibus atque beatis gratia nostra queat largirier emolumenti, ut nostra quicquam causa gerere adgrediantur? quidve novi potuit tanto post ante quietos inlicere, ut cuperent vitam mutare priorem? nam gaudere novis rebus debere videtur cui veteres obsunt; sed cui nil accidit aegri tempore in anteacto, cum pulchre degeret aevom, quid potuit novitatis amorem accendere tali?.
For what largess of beneficence could our gratitude bestow upon beings immortal and blessed, that they should attempt to effect anything for our sakes? Or what novelty could so long after entice those who were tranquil before to desire a change in their former life? For it is evident that he must rejoice in new things, who is offended with the old; but when one has had no annoyance in the time past, enjoying a life of happiness, what could kindle a love of novelty in such a one?
