itaque, quod in eo incertum est, cura et
inquisitione opus est, quis reum premat, quas et
quibus ex causis inimicitias habeat: eaque in oratione
praedicenda atque amolienda sunt, sive odio conflatos testes sive invidia sive gratia sive pecunia
videri volumus. et si deficietur numero pars diversa,
paucitatem; si abundabit, conspirationem; si humiles
producet, vilitatem; si potentes, gratiam oportebit
incessere.
