Hoc philosophiæ genus in affectibus situm est, verius quam in syllogismis; vita est magis, quam disputatio ; afflatus potius quam eruditio ; transformatio magis,

quam ratio.

Tantum esto docilis et multum in hac philosophia promovisti. Ipsa suppeditat doctorem spiritum, qui nulli sese lubentius impertit, quam simplicibus animis. At rursum ita non deest infimis ut summis etiam sit admirabilis. Quid artem aliud est Christi philosophia, quam ipse renascentiam vocat, quam instauratio bene conditæ naturæ.- Erasmus. Πνεύμα ζωοποιούν. 1 Cor. XV. 45.
