Unusquisque a deo constitutus est sui cordis tanquam castri custos & defensor, contra suos hosts: Si argo non implorato auxilio, non exspectato succursu, adeo ad primam obsidionis castrametationem castrum tradat hosti crimen admittit prodition is manifestum: quid igitur dicendum de traditione clavium, bujus castri, antequam obsidione prematur? clavis est cogitato, haec enim cor aperit; cogitationem velvere est clavem cordis ad apertionem ipsius torquere, ut tandem re seratur. Ames. de Conscien. p. 154.
