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.
