XI. CASTORIO ET FLORO ENNODIVS.
Amantem uestri gratia deberetis releuare conloquii et amicam
diligentiam testimonio reserare sermonis, quia muta caritas
pene obtinet uices ingrati et per paginarum abstinentiam intercipitur
uis amoris. absentum animis sola litterarum medetur
oblatio, quae quodam mentis artificio pingit scriptione quocum
loquitur. haec apud uos superuacuum putamus adserere, quos
instituta nobilia acuunt, quibus praesto est sanguis doctrina
consortium. nihil est bonarum artium, quod nescire sine neglegentiae
culpa possitis, quos post lucem natalium Romanum
decus Faustus instituit. ergo magis fatendum est me non
mereri quod postulo, quam uos nescire quid debeatis offerre.
domini mi, salutationis debita effusissima humilitate persoluens
precor, ut tandem aliquando non inmemores admonitionis
et foederis rescribatis, circa quae opera pigros uos esse non
conuenit, quia nec conuersationi uestrae sancta conscientia nec
uber sermo potest deesse conloquiis.
