quod nisi Paulinus cognito provinciae motu propere subvenisset, amissa Britannia foret; quam unius proelii fortuna veteri patientiae restituit, tenentibus arma plerisque, quos conscientia defectionis et proprius ex legato timor agitabat, ne quamquam egregius cetera adroganter in deditos et ut suae cuiusque iniuriae ultor durius consuleret.
Had not Paulinus learned of the stir in the province, and come hastily to the rescue, Britain would have been lost. The fortunes of a single battle restored it to its old submission; the majority still remained under arms, being exercised by a guilty sense of rebellion and a personal terror of the governor; they feared that, for all his virtues, he might take high-handed measures against such as surrendered, and take unduly stern measures, as a man who never overlooked any injury done to himself.
