[141]
sed si profiterer1—quod
utinam possem!—me studiosis dicendi praecepta et quasi
vias quae ad eloquentiam ferrent2 traditurum, quis tandem
id iustus rerum existimator reprehenderet3? nam quis umquam
dubitavit quin4 in re publica nostra primas eloquentia
tenuerit semper urbanis pacatisque5 rebus, secundas iuris
scientia? cum in altera gratiae, gloriae, praesidi plurimum
esset, in altera praescriptionum6 cautionumque praeceptio,
quae quidem ipsa auxilium ab eloquentia saepe peteret, ea
vero repugnante vix suas regiones finisque defenderet.
