the same in your Consulship, that you alwaies weare amongst the rest of your house, and kindred: yet the let∣ters also of all my friends doe ratifie the same. Wherefore I finde my selfe so much bound vnto you, as there is no trauaile so great, which I would not most readily, and cheerefully put my selfe vpon for your benefit. For the person to whom a man stands bound, is a matter of great moment; and I was euer glad to reamaine obliged vnto you, to whom, both through the same pro∣fession of letters, and for benefits recei∣ued from your father, and your selfe I am much endeared. Besides, that lo∣uing band, which ties vs with a stronger knot; in that you haue euer discharged your place and dignitie, to the benefit of the Common-wealth, is a thing that I loue aboue all other things. So that I refuse not to stand so farre bound vnto you, as all good cittizens are engaged. And I pray, Fortune to send you that issue of your honor, which you deserue, and I hope will follow you. I am in hope that shortly, wee shall see one another, so we be not opposed by the southerne windes. Whereof I am in great feare, because now is their pro∣per season. Farewell.
