Cicero to Trebatius. Epist. 7.

I Forget not to recommend you: but I would faine heare from you some∣thing, about the effects thereof. I haue great hope in Balbus; to whom I often write effectually of you. I wonder much, that when I receiue letters from my brother, you write not to mee. I vnderstand, that in Britannia, there's neither gold, nor ••iluer: if it bee so, I would wish you out of hand, to take a charriot, and retu••ne presently to vs: but in case, that without Britannia, we may compasse our intention, seeke to thrust in, amongst Caesars Familiars. Wherein my brother, and Balbus, will greatly assist you; but assuredly, more your owne modestie, and deserts. You serue one, who, besides many meanes

that he hath to prefer you, is by nature most liberall. You are of an age verie apt to serue him. And by mee, most assuredly, you are recommended with all efficacie: so that you neede to feare but one thing, [which is] that you neg∣lect not your selfe. Farewell.
