To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
THIS IS A HARD SAYING, they exclaim, AND WHO CANRECEIVE IT. The child of inconstancy, who ended by wishing to betransformed into an ass, would perhaps never have given up the study ofphilosophy, if he had met him in friendly guise veiled under the cloakof pleasure; but anon, astonished by Crato's chair and struck dumb byhis endless questions, as by a sudden thunderbolt, he saw no refuge butin flight.
So much we have alleged in defence of the poets; and now we proceed toshow that those who study... them with proper intent are not to becondemned in regard to them. For our ignorance of one single wordprevents the understanding of a whole long sentence, as was assumed inthe previous chapter. As now the sayings of the saints frequentlyallude to the inventions of the poets, it must needs happen thatthrough our not knowing the poem referred to, the whole meaning of theauthor is completely obscured, and assuredly, as Cassiodorus says inhis book Of the Institutes of Sacred Literature: Those things are notto be considered trifles without which great things cannot come topass.
