Nam si,  uti corporum languor, ita vitiositas quidam est quasi morbus animorum, cum aegros corpore minime dignos odio sed potius miseratione iudicemus, multo magis non insequendi sed miserandi sunt quorum mentes omni languore atrocior urget improbitas.
For if, just as faintness is a disease of the body, so is any vice a sort of disease of the mind, since we should think those sick in body not at all deserving of hatred, but rather of pity, much more are those to be pitied, not persecuted, whose minds are oppressed by what is crueller than any bodily weakness, wickedness.
