Etsi plusculum forte discreta, quam communis animus optabat, sede consistimus, non tamen medii itineris obiectu quantum ad solvendum spectat officium nostra sedulitas impediretur, nisi quod per regna divisi a commercio frequentiore sermonis diversarum sortium iure revocamur; quae nunc saltim post pacis initam pactionem quia fidelibus animis foederabuntur, apices nostri incipient commeare crebri, quoniam cessant esse suspecti.
Although we happen to dwell in places a little farther apart than our common friendship led us to hope for, yet, as far as concerns due maintenance of correspondence, our regularity would not have been hindered by the intervening distance, but for one thing'we live in different realms and are thus prevented from more frequent contact by the rights of conflicting governments. But now at least, on the conclusion of the peace-treaty, they will be leagued together in loyal harmony, and our letters will begin to pass in quick succession, seeing that they cease to be under suspicion.
