Lerbnitius solatur Seckendorffiun.
a. Zulii 1686.
Ime
et Generosissime Domine
Magno me dolore affecerunt literae tristis incendu nun-
tiatrices, Tua pariter el reipublicae causa. Quantam
enim tam atcox malum tot colonis ad incitat re-
dactis, rebus tuis priuatis perturbationem afferre
debeat, facile est indicatu. Inde iam curae multi-
plices, ac minime declinanda, et mens tot miserorum
malis sub conspecta versantibus tangitur non parum,
atque nonnihil mollescit, iam ea aetate, qua et cum
dignitate otium et decora quies non optatatantum
sed et parata atque prouisa erant, subito velut a
pata in medios flactus tempestate recici, eo magis
afficit, quo rariae est illa calamitas mopina, et
quo indignioe Tu iqui eam paterere interceptis vel
certe interruptis tot praecaris pro republica et posteri.
tate conatibus, dum interea passim alii, non nisi fru-
ges consumere nati, inutili atque sibi aliisque graui
otio abunde perforcuntur. Iaque iustissimum dolo-
rem tuum me non probare tantum fateor, sed et
proparte sentire testor. Duo tamen me solantur.
primum est, quod castrum tuum dimina benignitas

intactum sermanit, non rebus tantum, sed et meditatio-
nibus atque monumentis tanquam animi opibus pe-
percit; quae res non ad se magis, quam ad nos omnes
pertinet. Quanto infelicior erat Bartholinus, qui
libello dortissimo de incendio Bibliothecae semet ipsum
solatus, multa habet quae lecta tuum, vir illme
lorem levare nonnihil possint. Alterum est, quod
temet ipsum animo nondum fractum testaris, et si ta
ceres literae loquerentur, pristino illo promta ac
nobilis eloquentiae tenore profluentes. Sed cum nulla
mentis firmitate, nulla rationis potentia corporei
motus subito domari ac comprimi possint, qui tamen
sinon eas obuiam, facile profunda vestigia relin-
quant, et aliquando in aegritudinem desinunt, ideo
diuertenda aliorsum mens est, et ingratis imagi-
nibus aliae latiores sunt opponendae; deserendus

quod consultum visum est, subleuandis tuis, alia po-
tius omnia cogitanda, et inter amicorum colloquia
inter amoena literarum, fallenda est memoria du-

Ita, fateor,
ita fallos, ut omnia. Fibi tamen, in cuius mente re-
conditus est thesaurus quidam pulcherrimarum cogni.
tationum, multo procliuior est animi libertas, quam
aliis plerisque, Quanto enim quisque plura et prastan-
tiora nouit, eo facilius ipsi est mutare cogitatio-
nes, et invenire penesse, quo rerum externarum
insultus frangat. Fibi preterea mutta et magna
ab exteris solatia accedunt, optimis et praestantissi-
mis quibus que certatim per literas, per colloquia,
per officia daturis operam, ut dolor ille tuus le-
niatur. Idque boni inest aduersitatibus, ot no-
stra bona melius intelligamus, et experiamne ro-
buc animi, et laetemur studio ac solicitudine ame-
eorum. Certe illustrissimus Grotius non maliocri-
ter affectus est nuntio infortumi tui, salutemque
officiosissimam per me dici iubet, et reverso serenissi–
moprincipe, quem intra paucas septimanas expe-
ctamus, nihil a se requiri patietur, quo suo dese–
derio, et suo studio faciat satis. Iaque si libellum
aliquem supplicem ad principem destinare voles.
