39. M. T. Cicero to Curio, &c.
1. YOu know very well there are many sorts of Epistles, but that one is the most notable, for whose sake the thing it self was invented; that we should certifie them that are ab∣sent, if there should be any matter, which it may concern us or them, that they should know it.
2. Surely you do not expect such Letters as these from me, for you have those that write and bring you news of your private affairs, and in mine there is no new thing at all.
3. There are yet two sorts of Epistles, which please me; the one familiar and conceited, the other familiar and grave.
4. I know not, whether of these I should lesse make use of.
5. Should I quibble with you by Letters? Truly I do not think he is a Citizen, that can laugh in these times.
6. Should I write any thing grave? What is it that Cicero can write gravely to Curio, except it be concerning the Common-wealth?

7. And in this ••••nd my case is such, that I am loth to write what I think.
8. Wherefore, because I have no other subject lest whereon to write, I will close as I am wont, and encourage you to p••oceed to the heighth of glory.
9. For you have a great adversary set and provided, a marvailous expectation; which you shall very easily overcome by one thing, If you resolve to employ your self in those matters, the glory of whose praise you admire, by such means as those praises are obtained.
10. I would write more to this purpose, but that I be∣lieve you are sufficiently incited on, of your own accord; and this whatever it is that I have toucht, I have not done it to enflame you, but to testifie my love. Farewell.
