Igitur cum ad inspiciendum mulier aegra curationis gratia ad me perducta sit atque hoc et medici confessione qui adduxit ac mea ratiocinatione recte factum esse conveniat, aut constituant magi et malefici hominis esse morbis mederi, aut, si hoc dicere non audent, fateantur se in puero et muliere caducis vanas et prorsus caducas calumnias intendisse.
Well then, when a sick woman had been brought to me to examine in hope of a cure, and since it is established both by the testimony of the doctor who brought her and my own arguments that this was the proper procedure, these people must show either that curing illnesses marks a sorcerer and a dealer in evil magic, or, if they dare not say that, they must admit that the slanderous charges they brought concerning an epileptic boy and woman were baseless and indeed fated to fall.
