OMNIS bhomines qui "sese student praestare ceteris animalibus, summa ope niti decet, vitam silentio ne transeant, veluti pecora, quae natura - prona, atque ventri obedientia, finxit. Sed nostra omnis vis in animo et corpore ‘sita: animi imperia, corporis servitio magis utimur: falterum nobis cum dis, alterum cum betluis commune est.

The accusative plural, more usually written omnes. Nouns, whose genitive plural ends in -ium, have es, es, or eis in the accusative plural. These accusatives in is, however, have their last syllable always long, because it originates from the dipthongal syllable eis, which was the most ancient termination. b Homines. Homo properly signifies one of the human species, and includes both sexes. c Sese student præstare. A pleonasm for student præstare. d Prona. Bending, or stooping downward. e Sita.

Alter signifies one of two, alius one of many. & Quo. Used for qua propter, wherefore. h Memoriam nostri.

Quod si regum atque imperatorum animi virtus in pace ita, uti in bello, valeret, faequabilius atque constantius 'sese res humanae 'haberent; neque aliud alio ferri, neque mutari ac 'misceri omnia cerneres.
