an veterem tantum morem ratione relicta eligis et dici id patitur sapientis acumen ingeniumque viri? potior mihi pristinus est mos quam via iustitiae, pietas quam prodita caelo, quamque fides veri, rectae quam regula sectae.
Do you lay reason aside and choose only the ancient usage? Does a wise mans keen intelligence allow him to say The old custom is to be preferred in my eyes to the path of righteousness, the goodness revealed from heaven, the sure confidence in truth, the rule of right belief?
