palam etiam contraria
et supervacua et stulta reprehendere nullius est artis,
ideoque nec rationes eorum nec exempla tradere
necesse est. id quoque (quod obscurum vocant),
quod secreto et sine teste aut argumento dicitur
factum, satis natura sua infirmum est; sufficit enim,
quod adversarius non probat; item si ad causam non
pertinet.
