	\| It does not haphazardly chase ravens with a piece of pottery and a bit of mud. But scientific knowledge is the product of reading, learning, and meditation. It is accordingly evident that grammar, which is the basis and root of scientific knowledge, implants, as it were, the seed [of virtue] in nature’s furrow after grace has readied the ground. This seed, provided again that coöperating grace is present, increases in substance and strength until it becomes solid virtue, and it grows in manifold respects until it fructifies in good works, wherefore men are called and actually are “good.” At the same time, it is grace alone which makes a man good. For grace brings about both the willing and the doing of good. Furthermore, grace, more than anything else, imparts the faculty of writing and speaking correctly to those to whom it is given, and supplies them with the various arts. Grace should not be scorned when it generously offers itself to the needy, for if despised, it rightly departs, leaving the one who has spurned it no excuse for complaint.		\| It does not haphazardly chase ravens with a piece of pottery and a bit of mud.

|CAP. XXIII. Quae praecipua sunt ad exercitium philosophiae et virtutis; et quod grammatica est eorum fundamentum. [0853A]

|Praecipua autem sunt ad totius philosophiae et virtutis exercitium, lectio, doctrina, meditatio et assiduitas operis. Lectio vero scriptorum praeiacentem habet materiam; doctrina et scriptis plerumque incumbit, et interdum ad non scripta progreditur, quae tamen in arcanis memoriae recondita sunt, aut in praesentis rei intelligentia eminent. At meditatio etiam ad ignota protenditur, et usque ad incomprehensibilia saepe se ipsam erigit; et tam manifesta rerum, quam abdita, rimatur. Quartum, operis scilicet assiduitas, etsi a praeexistente cognitione formetur, scientiamque desideret, vias tamen parat intelligentiae: eo quod intellectus bonus est [0853B] omnibus facientibus eum (Psal. CX). Et praecones veritatis ut scriptum est: Annuntiaverunt opera Dei, et facta eius intellexerunt (Psal. LXIII) . Caeterum operationem cultumque virtutis, scientia naturaliter praecedit; neque enim virtus currit in incertum, aut in pugna, quam exercet cum vitiis, aerem verberat,

|Sed videt quo tendit, et in quod dirigit arcum:

|Nec passim corvos sequitur testaque lutoque. At lectio, doctrina et meditatio scientiam pariunt. Unde constat quod grammatica, quae istorum fundamentum est et radix, quodammodo sementem iacit quasi in sulcis naturae, gratia tamen praeeunte; quae, si ei cooperatrix quoque gratia adfuerit, [0853C] in solidae virtutis robur coalescit et crescit multipliciter, ut boni operis fructum faciat, unde boni viri et nominantur, et sunt. Sola tamen gratia, quae et velle bonum et perficere operatur, virum bonum facit, et prae caeteris omnibus recte scribendi et recte loquendi, quibus datum est, facultatem impertitur, artesque ministrat varias, et cum se indigentibus benigne offert, contemni non debet. Si enim contemnitur, iuste recedit, nec contemptori relinquitur conquestionis locus.
