VII. BOOK I. CH. II. § 3.

[Diseases, famine, enemies, in us no change have wrought]

[_]

Marius Victor, de perversis suæ æt. moribus Epist. 30–33.

Diseases, famine, enemies, in us no change have wrought;
What erst we were, we are; still in the same snare caught:
No time can our corrupted manners mend;
In vice we dwell, in sin that hath no end.
