Cicero vice-Consull, to Mar∣cus Marcellus his Colleague. Epist. 9.

I Am wondrous gl••d, that M••rcellus is made Consull, and that your wi∣shes haue taken ef••ect. And no newes could haue come of greater ••oy vnto me not onely in respect of himselfe, but also in iudging that your vertue meri∣te••h al felicity. To this may be annexed, that not onely when For••une fauoured my aff••ires, but also when she frowned on me; I made infallible tryall of the sinceritie o•• that affection which you bare mee: and finally, I haue alwaies found your hou••e, ready to procure my honour, and safet••e, at all times when need required. Wherefore you shall doe me a fauour, to manifest this my contentment to your wife Iunia, a most graue and worthie Lady. I beseech you, loue, and defend me according to your accustomed manner. Farewell.
