No un neófito, porque inflándose no caiga en juicio del diablo.

Il ne faut pas qu'il soit un nouveau converti, de peur qu'enflé d'orgueil il ne tombe sous le jugement du diable.
Che non sia novizio; acciocchè divenendo gonfio, non cada nel giudicio del diavolo.
Não neófito, para que, ensoberbecendo-se, não caia na condenação do diabo.
