" Sed lex," inquit, " non permittendo exigere
vetuit." Multa legem non habent nec actionem, ad
quae consuetudo vitae humanae omni lege valentior
dat aditum. Nulla lex iubet amicorum secreta non
eloqui; nulla lex iubet fidem etiam inimico praestare ; quae lex ad id praestandum nos, quod alicui
promisimus, adligat ? Nulla. Querar tamen cum
eo, qui arcanum sermonem non continuerit, et fidem
datam nec servatam indignabor.
