Stirpe and indole generosd should, I think, be struck out, because it not only was said elsewhere, but principally, because it breaks and interrupts the sense; for then, tacere tamen, &c. will relate to pid, cui humilitas to pudica, and in re domesticd, &c. to prudens.

But the putting that bold figurative expression into Latin, would make, what we call, an Anglicism; and even in this case, qualities, and not substa...
