Quid, si, quae vitia aut incommoda
sunt in aliquo iudice uno aut pluribus, ea tu in adversariis
exprobrando non intellegas te in iudices invehi, mediocrene
peccatum est? Quid, si, cum pro altero dicas, litem tuam
facias aut laesus efferare iracundia, causam relinquas, nihilne
noceas? In quo ego, non quo libenter male audiam, sed
quia causam non libenter relinquo, nimium patiens et lentus
existimor; ut, cum te ipsum, Sulpici, obiurgabam, quod
ministratorem peteres, non adversarium; ex quo etiam illud
adsequor, ut, si quis mihi male dicat, petulans aut plane
insanus esse videatur.

In ipsis autem argumentis si quid
posueris aut aperte falsum aut ei, quod dixeris dicturusve
sis, contrarium aut genere ipso remotum ab usu iudiciorum
ac foro, nihilne noceas? Quid multa? Omnis cura mea
solet in hoc versari semper—dicam enim saepius—si possim
ut boni efficiam aliquid dicendo; sin id minus, ut certe ne
quid mali.
