Ideo et credunt de nobis quae non probantur, et nolunt inquiri, ne probentur non esse quae malunt credidisse, ut nomen illius aemulae rationis inimicum praesumptis, non probatis criminibus de sua sola confessione damnetur.
So they believe things about us which are not proved; and they are unwilling for inquiry to be made, in case things they prefer to have believed should be proved untrue; and the object is that the name, which is the enemy of that rival agency, may, because of crimes presumed but not proven, be condemned simply on its own confession.
