Nulla in his uerisᶜ Academicorū argumēta formido , dicentiū: Quid ſi falleris?ᵈ Si enim fallor, ſum. Nã qui nõ eſt, utiqꝫ nec falli poteſt , ac ꝑ hoc ſum, ſi fallor. quia ergo ſum qui fallor, quomodo eſſe me fallor , quando certum eſt eſſe me ſi fallor?

Translation

In respect of these truths, I fear not the arguments of the Academics, who say: 'What if you are deceived?' For if I am deceived, I am. For he who does not exist cannot be deceived; and by this very fact I am, if I am deceived. Since, therefore, I exist if I am deceived, how can I be deceived in believing that I exist, when it is certain that I exist if I am deceived?
