Whether you speak in the Senate or to any person, let your speech always be serious and humble. But don't make a show of using perfect, formal language about what is truly good and civil. Don't openly display your knowledge of how vain the world and worldly people are, even though truth and reason tell you this is so.
Whether thou speak in the Senate or whether thou speak to any particular, let thy speech In always grave and modest. But thou must not openly and vulgarly observe that sound and exact form of speaking, concerning that which is truly good and truly civil; the vanity of the world, and of worldly men: which otherwise truth and reason doth prescribe.
