Si qua dubitatio inde ab antiquo
urbavit humanum genus, ea est quae
circa libertatem necessitatemque
V
prsatur. Jam enim apud Veteres
qui fatum defendebant visi sunt nihil
in nostra potestate reliquisse, quod laudi
nobis aut vitio dari posset: qui vero pro
humana Libertate stabant, praesci–
entiam atque praeordinationem divina
t
medio sustulisse credebantur per quam
futura adamantina inevitabilitatis cate
st
colligarentur. In hoc conflictu simplice
neptique saepe ad inertiam versi sunt, quasi
vani essent hominum labore, vana studia
virtutum; im probi vero in omne se scelerum
enus effudere, quasi aut nullae essent poenae
ectore submoto, aut frustra caverentur.
