quibusdam ne placuit quidem omnino subtilis haec et ad morem dialecticorum formata conclusio, ut rei disputationibus potius arguta verborum cavillatrix quam rei oratoris officio multum adlatura momenti. licet enim valeat rei sermone tantum, ut constrictum vinculis suis eum qui responsurus est vel tacere vel etiam invitum id quod sit contra cogat fateri, non eadem est tamen eius rei causis utilitas.
