Denn so einer willig ist, so ist er angenehm, nach dem er hat, nicht nach dem er nicht hat.
Porque si primero hay la voluntad pronta, será acepta por lo que tiene, no por lo que no tiene.
Porque, si hay buena disposición, es aceptada según lo que uno tiene, y no según lo que no tiene.
La bonne volonté, quand elle existe, est agréable en raison de ce qu'elle peut avoir à sa disposition, et non de ce qu'elle n'a pas.
Perciocchè, se vi è la prontezza dell’animo, uno è accettevole secondo ciò ch’egli ha, e non secondo ciò ch’egli non ha.
Porque, se há prontidão de vontade, será aceita segundo o que qualquer tem, e não segundo o que não tem.
因為人只要有願做的心,必照他所有的蒙悅納,並不是照他所沒有的。
