Seuerior autem coercitio est per contrarium iudicium. nam calumniae iudicio X. partis nemo damnatur nisi qui intellegit non recte se agere, sed uexandi aduersarii gratia actionem instituit potiusque ex iudicis errore uel iniquitate uictoriam sperat quam ex causa ueritatis. calumnia enim in adfectu est, sicut furti crimen. contrario uero iudicio omni modo damnatur actor, si causam non tenuerit, licet aliqua opinione inductus crediderit se recte agere.
