Fame, faith, and eyesight do not suffer a cheat. Fama, quce suspicionem inducit, oriri debet apud bonos et graves, non quidem malevolos et maledicos, sed providas et fide dignas personas, non semel sed sexpius, quia clamor minuit et defamatio manifestat.
2 Inst. 52.
Report, which induces suspicion, ought toarise from good and gravemen; nol, indeed, from malevolent and malicious men, but from cautious and eredible persons; not only once, but frequently; for clamor diminishes, and defamation manifests.
