ergo si de moribus tuis deque amicitiis iuste meliora praesumo, excusato propitius indulge, quem reconcilians fore fidelem constanter in posterum spondeo, quoque velociter culpa soluto ego beneficio ligor, magnopere deposcens, non ut ignoscas modo verum ut et protinus, et revertentem non domo solum sed et pectore admittas.
So if I am right in taking the more favourable view of your character and of your friendship, show a kindly lenience towards him for whom I have pleaded. In commending him to your forgiveness I guarantee that he will be unswervingly true to you in the future. If you absolve him promptly of his guilt you thereby bind me by your kindness, for I earnestly entreat you not merely to pardon him but to pardon him instantly, and on his return to receive him into your heart as well as into your home.
