Ceterum ut senatus populique mens in modum subitae tempestatis concitata leni querella prosequenda est, ita singulorum ingrata facta liberiore indignatione proscindenda sunt, quia potentes consilii, cum utrumque ratione perpendere liceret, scelus pietati praetulerunt.
But if the mind of senate and people excited like a sudden squall is best visited with a mild remonstrance, the ungrateful acts of individuals are to be lashed with more outspoken indignation, because being well able to deliberate they preferred crime to piety when they could weigh both in the scale of reason.
