- indiscriminately, Francisco, promiscuè and Francisco.
Meaning
Promiscuè modifies the reading of books: the father warns against reading indiscriminately rather than rejecting books altogether. The same unit names Francisco as a terrible example, but provides no identifying particulars or narrated episode. These two points should remain separate: selective reading is a stated rule, while Francisco is an unresolved allusion. Assigning him a historical identity or a specific misconduct would add a story the testament does not supply.
