Thus Anglicé it
alibi, early terms that
ought to have been
called young — are
called old.
[Thus dignified —
Seigneur, Alderman.]

It is Thus it is in this way that in English, as well as in
Latin that which a those portions of terms which with reference
to the present ought to have been called young and is sometimes called early, is
in possession of being dignified with the a name of
old. [I say dignified: for in the instance of individuals seniority has not without
reason been taken for an efficient cause of title to respect,
an efficient cause of dignity.] [In French Italian Spanish Seigneur
Signior, Señor from the Latin Senior — In English Alderman
from the Saxon Ealderman or Eldermane a title by
which that condition of life which in another dialect
of the Teutonic was designated by the term word Earl
may suffice for exemplifications examples of this truth.]

Considitur — in
man antiquity
the efficient cause
of wisdom: wisdom
being caeteris paribus
in length of experience
thence of days:
50 years old wiser
than 25 do

Applied to individuals In the case of the individual, antique not only
experience but antiquity is the mother, if by mother
be meant the an efficient cause of wisdom. Why? because
so is experience, and in [the] each individual,
[caeteris paribus] that is as between [individual and any two individuals,
individual], other circumstances being upon a par
the respective degrees of wisdom experience will be as the respective
lengths of time occupied by their respective lives.

Bating Laying out of the account accidental infirmities, every man individual who
has arrived at the age of fifty will be wiser
than better qualified to form whatever may be the subject
a right judgment than the same man was at
five and twenty: wiser "why" — only because to more double the more than double the time for
reflection he has added double the time for the acquisition of experience.
