[12] Quod miserrimum erat, si incidisset, optatur et tamquam vita petitur supplici mora. Contemptissimum putarem, si vivere vellet usque ad crucem::' Tu vero " inquit, " me debilites licet, dum spiritus in corpore fracto et inutili maneat. Depraves licet, dum monstroso et distorto ¹ temporis aliquid accedat. Suffigas Meet et acutam sessuro crucem subdas." Est tanti vulnus suum premere et patibulo pendere districtum, dum differat id, quod est in malis optimum, supplicii finem ? Est tanti habere animam, ut agam ?
