... populo aliquis unus pluresve divitiores
opulentioresque extitissent, tum ex eorum fastidio et
superbia nata esse commemorant cedentibus ignavis
et inbecillis et adrogantiae divitum succumbentibus.
Si vero ius suum populi teneant, negant quicquam
esse praestantius, liberius, beatius, quippe qui domini
sint legum, iudiciorum, belli, pacis, foederum, capitis
unius cuiusque, pecuniae. Hanc unam rite rem
publicam, id est rem populi, appellari putant. Itaque
et a regum et a patrum dominatione solere in libertatem rem populi vindicari, non ex liberis populis
reges requiri aut potestatem atque opes optimatium.
