OBSERVATIONS.
TO loose the least jot of that which a man hath
in possession, is more dishonourable, then to
fail of getting what he hath not. And therefore
Caesar chose rather to forgo the advantages
which a speedy pursuit of the enemy might have
afforded him to the ending of that war, then to
hazzard the losse of so great a State, & so well-affected
to the people of Rome as were the He∣dui,
wherein he carried so equall and indiffe∣rent
a hand, that he would do nothing but what
the laws of that State directed him unto, as most
assured that such directions were without ex∣ception.
