De alterius vita, de alterius morte disputatis et ad
nomen magnorum ob aliquam eximiam laudent
virorum, sicut ad occursum ignotorum hominum
minuti canes, latratis ; expedit enim vobis neminem
videri bonum, quasi aliena virtus exprobratio delictorum vestrum1 omnium sit. Invidi splendida
cum sordibus vestris confertis nec intellegitis, quanto
id vestro detrimento audeatis. Nam si illi, qui
virtutem sequuntur, avari libidinosi ambitiosique
sunt, quid vos estis, quibus ipsum nomen virtutis odio
est?
