[19] Quod sciam, et conuersatio notior facta est: scitis et dies conuentuum nostrorum; itaque et obsidemur et oppri mimur, et in ipsis arcanis congregationibus detinemur. [20] Quis umquam tamen semeso cadaueri superuenit? Quis in cruentato pane uestigia dentium deprehendit? Quis tenebris repentino lumine inruptis inmunda aliqua, ne dixerim incesta, indicia recognouit? [21] Si praemio impetramus, ne tales in publicum extrahamur, quales et opprimimur, possumus et omnino non extrahi: quis enim proditionem criminis alicuius sine crimine ipso aut uendit aut redimit?
