[148]
an, quod diligenter defenditur, id tibi indignum facinus
videtur? mihi crede, si pro patris huius1 hospitiis2 et gratia vellent
omnes huic3 hospites adesse et auderent libere defendere, satis
copiose defenderetur; sin autem pro magnitudine iniuriae proque eo
quod summa res publica in huius periculo temptatur haec omnes
vindicarent, consistere me hercule vobis isto in loco non liceret. nunc
ita defenditur, non sane ut moleste ferre adversarii debeant neque ut
se
potentia superari putent.
