An vero certius quicquam potest esse quam illorum ratione, qui dolorem in malis ponunt, non posse sapientem beatum esse, cum eculeo torqueatur? eorum autem, qui dolorem in malis non habent, ratio certe cogit ut in omnibus tormentis conservetur beata vita sapienti. etenim si dolores eosdem tolerabilius patiuntur qui excipiunt eos pro patria quam qui leviore de causa, opinio facit, non natura, vim doloris aut maiorem aut minorem.
