OBSERVATIONS.
THe conclusion of this Sommers work was
shut up with the sack and depopulation of
the Eburones, as the extremity of hostile fury,
when the enemy lieth in the fastness of the
countrey, and refuseth to make open warre.
That being done, Caesar proceeded in a course
of civill judgement with such principall offen∣ders
as were of the conspiracy: and namely
with Acco, whom he punished in such man∣ner
as the old Romans were accustomed to do
with such offenders as had forfeited their loy∣altie
to their countrey; a kind of death which
Nero knew not, although he had been Empe∣rour
of Rome thirteen years, and put to death
many thousand people. The party condemned
was to have his neck locked in a fork, and to
be whipped naked to death: and he that was put
to death after that manner, was punished more
majorum. Such others as feared to undergo
the judgement, and fled before they came to tri∣all,
were banished out of the countrey, and
made uncapable of the benefit of fire and water
in that Empire.
And thus endeth the sixth Commentary.
