[9]
Si praestitisset quidem aliquid mihi, sed arma patriae
meae inferret, quidquid meruerat, perdidisset, et
referre illi gratiam scelus haberetur. Si non patriam
meam impugnat, sed suae gravis est et sepositus a
mea gente suam exagitat, abscindit, nihilo minus
illum tanta pravitas animi, etiam si non inimicum,
invisum mihi efficit, priorque mihi ac potior eius
officii ratio est, quod humano generi, quam quod uni
homini debeo.
