[134]
Perhaps some such argument as this will be
addressed to you,—that, if you condemn the diplomatists who negotiated
the peace, it will be the beginning of enmity with Philip. If that is true, I do
not think I could bring any more damaging charge against the defendant. If the
potentate who spent his money to get the peace has indeed become so powerful and
formidable that you are to ignore justice and the oath you have sworn, and
consider only how to oblige Philip, what penalty can be too severe for the
authors of his aggrandizement?
