THe breuitie of your letters will be the cause, that I also shall be briefe in writing. And, to speake truth, I h••ue not much whereof to write; knowing assuredly, that the proceedings of Rome, are related vnto you, by the ordinarie
aduises; and of yours, in these parts, we heare nothing. For as if Asia, were on euery side shut vp, there come no ad∣uertisements vnto vs, but onely a ru∣mor, that Dolabella is vanquished: which hitherto is not verified: though they still talke thereof. When wee supposed the warre ended, vpon a suddaine through your Lepidus, we are fallen a∣gaine into exceeding great trouble. And the greatest hop•• the Common-wealth hath, is in you, and your people. True it is, that we haue mightie armies: neuerthelesse, though all things should succeed, as I hope, happily, [y••t] it much impo••ts that you come [hither,] for, the hope of the Common-wealth, is but little: I will not say, none at all. But, what is, men looke it should take effect, in the yeare of your Consulship. Farewell.
