put off the vleading for the Betici aganſt one man 3 ſo nither 
es it ſuitable to my credit and conſtancy , to appear againſt a 
Province which you love , and which I bave once engaged by ſo

4. For 1 ought not ſo much to conſider, what you , being a 
worthy man, do deſire at preſent , as what yout will be likely to 
approve af all times, 


5. I hope 1 ſhall be at Rome about the fiftecnth of Oftober, . 


and that , being vr:ſeat , I ſhall make th:ſe things good to 
Galles,according to your promiſe and mine; to whom,for all that, 
- yous may even aow eagage, as touching my reſolution , | 
This Jove did ſay, and beckened with his brows.
