'He, therefore, who sets himself to act evilly and yet
wishes others to be silent, is a witness against himself, for he wishes
himself to be loved more than the truth, which he does not wish to be
defended against himself. There is, of course, no man who so lives as
not sometimes to sin, but he wishes truth to be loved more than himself,
who wills to be spared by no one against the truth. Wherefore, Peter
willingly accepted the rebuke of Paul; David willingly hearkened to the
reproof of a subject. For good rulers who pay no regard to self-love,
take as a homage to their humility the free and sincere words of
subjects. But in this regard the office of ruling must be tempered with
such great art of moderation, that the minds of subjects, when
demonstrating themselves capable of taking right views in some matters,
are given freedom of expression, but freedom that does not issue into
pride, otherwise, when liberty of speech is granted too generously, the
humility of their own lives will be lost.'
