Which, if it be true; I maruaile not, though euen heauen, & earth leaue their vsuall properties, for your commoditie. I send you the briefe Oration, which I made in defence of King Deiotarus: which I knew not to be about me. The subiect is very mean, and almost vncapable of ornaments; nor verie worthie to be set downe in writing. But because Deiotarus is my guest, and a friend of many yeares stan∣ding; I thought good to send him, this poore present, as a garment of a grosse graine; like those presents, he was wont to send to me. I aduise you to shew, wi••edome, and valour: to the end, that by your modestie, and grauitie, the in∣iuries of your enemies, may light vpon their owne heads with dishonour, and infamie. Farewell.
