Cicero to Publius Seruilius, his Colleague. Ep. 71.
I Recommend vnto you diuers, vpon necessi••ie; because our great friend∣ship, and your good will towards mee, is knowne to euerie man. And, though I desire you should bee free of your fa∣uors, to all those whom I recommend: yet doe I not requ••st it equally to all men. Titus Agusius, in the time of my disgraces, neuer left mee, either in tra∣uailes, nauigations, and turmoiles; nay, in my verie dangers hee was alwaies with me: neither at this time would he haue departed from me, had I not per∣mitted him. Wherefore, I recommend him to you, as one of my house, and as my verie vsefull friend. You shall doe me a great pleasure, if you so entr••at him, that hee may take notice of the profit and assistance, that did accrue vnto him, through my recommendati∣on. Farewell.
