Examples
“Sed ab excessū revertar ad prīncipālitātem vēritātis et posteritātem mendācitātis disputandam, ex illī̆us quoque parabolæ patrōciniō quæ bonum sēmen frūmentī ā Dominō sēminātum in primōre cōnstituit, avēnārum autem sterilis fænī adulterium ab inimīcō diabolō posteā superdūcit.”
But I shall return from this digression to discuss the priority of truth and the lateness of mendacity, drawing support also from that parable which places the good seed of wheat sown by the Lord in the first position, while later introducing the corruption of the sterile grass of wild oats by the enemy, the devil.
