    Liber II Machabaeorum

    2 Maccabees

    30

    Sicut enim novæ domus architecto de universa structura curandum est; ei vero qui pingere curat, quæ apta sunt ad ornatum exquirenda sunt: ita æstimandum est et in nobis.

    For as the master builder of a new house must have care of the whole building: but he that taketh care to paint it, must seek out fit things for the adorning of it: so must it be judged of us.

    Sicut nam novo domo architiga de universa structura cura es; ad illo vero qui pinge cura, que apta es ad orna exquire es: ita aestima es et in nos.
