In urbe luxuria creatur: Ex luxuria exiſtat avaritia neceſſe eft: Ex avaritia erumpit audacia; Inde omnia scelera ac maleficia gignuntur. Vita autem hæc rustica quam tu agrestim vocas, parsimoniæ, diligentiæ, justitiæ, magistra est.

Tullii Orat. pro Sext. Roscio.

The City creates luxury; from luxury necessarily proceeds rapaciousness; and from rapaciousness breaks forth insolence: Thence are engendered all villainy and wicked deeds: But this country life, which you call clowniſh, is ¿he regulator of æconomy,

industry, and justice.
