quod quidem totum creditoribus bene, sed malis dicitur; at cum habet talis persona contractum, quae velit medium relaxare, cum totum possit exigere, si moram patitur, quicquid propter misericordiam concesserat pie, iuste reposcit propter iniuriam.
All this may quite well be said to creditors, I mean to evil creditors; but when you are under a contract with a person of such a nature that he is willing to remit half the debt when he could exact the whole, then, if you keep him waiting, he might justly claim back because of this ill usage all that he had charitably remitted out of compassion.
