LXXIIII. Boni discipuli currus magistri sint.

LXXIIII. Boni discipuli currus magistri sint.

But the disciples should be like gold in their good submission. And they should be adorned with good works like gems; their chariot should be in service to their master, just as the planets serve the sun. In his plans, the teacher's intentions should be tested, and the heart's desires of his works should be supported just like a chariot, as the planets also serve the sun.

Read the original Latin

Sed discipuli, qui bona subjectione velut auro. et bonis operibus velut gemmis ornati sunt, currus magistro suo esse debent, quemadmodura planetae soli assistunt.

In his consilia raagistri probentur, ac coraitatus operum ipsius cum his velut cum curru sustineantur, sicut etiam et planetae soli ministrant.
