Id quod est mag'is reraotum non trahit ad se quod est lua^is junctum, sed e contrario in omni casu: that which is more remote does not draw to itself that which is more near, but the reverse, in every case. Id quod nostrum est sine facto nostro ad alinm transferrl non potest: that which is ours cannot be transferred to another without our act.
