Or in the first Supine after Verbs of moving; a•…•… Eo cubitum, spectatum. Or in the latter with an ad∣jective; as Turpe est dictu. Facile sactu opus scitu.

But this ac∣cusative agreeth with another understood before the Infinitive; as Expedit vobis vos esse bonos. Na∣tura be•…•…tis omnibus esse dedit. Nobis non licet esse tam di ortis. The same Construction may be us'd after other Infinitives Neuter or Passive like to esse in signification; as Maximo tibi post•…•…a & civi, & duci 〈◊〉〈◊〉 con•…•…. Val. Max. L. 6.
