nam id,
quod statim faciendum sit, perfici prius oportet; de-
inde operam dare, ut sua lex ipso scripto videatur
niti, contraria autem aut per ambiguum aut per ratio-
cinationem aut per definitionem induci, cum sanctius
et firmius id videatur esse, quod apertius scriptum
sit; deinde suae legis ad scriptum ipsum sententiam
quoque adiungere, contrariam legem item ad aliam
sententiam transducere, ut, si fieri poterit, ne discrepare
quidem videantur inter se; postremo facere, si causa
facultatem dabit, ut nostra ratione utraque lex con-
servari videatur, adversariorum ratione altera sit ne-
cessario neglegenda.
