| <Reus> Honesta hec
interpretatio! Vtinam inueniatis qui pro uobis interpretetur. Quia ergo nos
rigamus populum hunc, doctrine ymbrem ei ministrantes, quia colimus eum
uomere praedicationis, si non uultis sinere uel patimini nobis eum
fructificare, et qualia uobis fieri non uultis nobis inferre cavete, ne, si
pergitis dicere que uultis, audiatis que non uultis
<Terrence, Andria 5.4.920: si mihi
perget quae uolt dicere ea quae non uolt audiet>.

<Defendant> What a worthy
interpretation! Would that you would find someone who could give
you such an opinion. We lead this people, we administer the largess of
doctrine to them, because we cultivate their fields with the plough of
preaching. If you do not wish to allow us to care for them, and
those things that you do not wish to do you leave to us. Beware that if you
say what you want you may hear what you do not want.
