Ingrati publice sumus. Se quisque interroget:
nemo non aliquem queritur ingratum. Atqui non
potest fieri, ut omnes querantur, nisi querendum est
de omnibus : omnes ergo ingrati sunt. Ingrati sunt1
tantum ? Et cupidi omnes et maligni omnes et
timidi omnes, illi in primis, qui videntur audaces.
Adice : et ambitiosi omnes sunt et impii omnes. Sed
non est, quod irascaris ; ignosce illis, omnes insaniunt.
1 Ingrati sunt added by Gertz ; omitted by Hosius.
