(3) Nor is it wealth — the immoderate zeal of heaping up riches; acquiring wealth is full of toil; he who has ample riches exposes them to so many dangers.
(6) Nor is it in magnificent and proud buildings.(7) Nor in nobility — full of toil; whatever good is in nobility is fragile; it is not a perennial and stable good.
Latin
3. Neque est opulentia — immoderatum cumulandarum opum studium; opum acquisitio plena laboris; qui amplas opes tot periculis exponit. 6. Neque est in magnificis & superbis aedificiis. 7. Neque in nobilitate — plena laboris; quod boni in nobilitate est fragile; non perenne & stabile.
