Abstract
While I publicly acknowledge that I do not at all deserve the great proofs of your favour, that does not diminish your very accurate judgment nor constitute any risk of my striving after honours. The favours of the greats disclose the generosity of the giver rather than the merits of the receiver. As the providence of the Divine Power is not overturned because the less worthy experiences good fortune, so the sagacity of princes is not diminished by the fact that they shower great favours not only on those who deserve them.
