Quidni? Crimen haud contemnendum philosopho, nihil in se sordidum sinere, nihil uspiam corporis apertum immundum pati ac foetulentum, praesertim os, cuius in propatulo et conspicuo usus homini creberrimus, sive ille cuipiam osculum ferat, seu cum quiquam sermocinetur, sive in auditorio dissertet, sive in templo preces alleget.
And why not? For a philosopher it is no trifling charge that he allows no dirt to settle on him, and leaves no exposed part of his body dirty or smelly, least of all his mouth, a visible and conspicuous feature that humans use very frequently, whether to offer someone a kiss, converse with another, address an audience, or offer prayers in a temple.
