Cicero to Brutus. Ep. 14.

LV••ius Titius Strabo, a Romaine Knight, of an honourable familie, and of great, and rich estate, is my bo∣some friend: and all intrinsecall right•• runne equally betweene vs. This man should haue certaine moneys out of your Prouince, from Publius Cornelius: The matter is remitted into Gallia, by Volcatius, a iudge of Rome. And because it is more honest to be carefull of a friends moneys, then of our owne; I more seriously, then if it were an inte∣rest of mine, request you, that about the procuring an end of the action, you would interpose your selfe for expediti∣on. And to endeuour so farre a•• you thinke it, iust and reasonable, that Stra∣bo's Freeman, who is sent for this effect, may without any encumbrance, finish

the businesse, and recouer the moneys. And it shall both giue me great con∣ten••ment, and you your sel••e shall ac∣knowledge Lucius Titius to bee most worthie of your friendship. And I hear∣tily entreat you to employ that care herein, which you were wont to take in euerie thing wherein you found, that I delighted. Farewell.
