Te totum applica ad textum: rem totam applica ad te.
Johann Albrecht Bengel, Praefatio to the octavo Greek Testament of 1734 (Η ΚΑΙΝΗ ΔΙΑΘΗΚΗ | NOVUM TESTAMENTUM GRÆCUM ita adornatum ut in textu medulla editionum probatarum retineatur . . . (Stuttgart: Faber, 1734)), sec. XII. See, for example, p. 11 of the printing of 1762.

Thanks for this post with link to the original doc. Everybody quotes Bengel's saying, but without a footnote to the source, which I needed to see with my own eyes. I was grateful for your posting.
