Exsistit autem hoc loco quaedam quaestio sub- difficilis: num quando amici novi, digni amicitia, veteribus sint anteponendi, ut equis vetulis teneros antcponere solemus. Indigna homine dubitatio ! Non enim aniicitiarura debent esse, sicut aliarum rerum satietates. Veterrimae quaeque, ut ea vina, quae vetustatem ferunt, esse debent suavissima:
verumque illud est, quod dicitur, multos modios salis simul edendos esse, ut amicitiae munus ex- pletum sit. Novitates autem, si spem. afferunt, ut, tamquam in herbis non flillacibus, fructus appareat, non sunt illae quidem repudiandae;
vetustas tamen suo loco conservanda est. Maxima est enim vis vetustatis et consuetudinis. Quin ipso equo, cujus modo mentionem feci, si nulla res impediat, nemo est, qui non eo, quo consuevit, libentius utatur, quam intractato et novo : nee vero in hoc, quod est animal, sod in iis etiam, quae sunt inanimata, consuetude valet; quum locis ipsis dclectemur, montuosis etiam et silvestribus, in quibus diutius commorati sumus.
