Rex, cognita causa, pronuntiavit ab accusatoribus unum et id maximum crimen esse praeteritum, desperationem salutis suae; numquam enim talia ausuros qui ipsum ex India sospitem aut optassent reverti  aut credidissent reversurum.
The king, having examined the case, declared that the accusers had passed over one crime, and that the greatest of all, namely, despair of his safety; for they never would have ventured on such conduct, if they had either wished him to return safely from India or had believed that he would  return.
