being of a more boyling and tumultuous humour They afterward became incendiaries in the State of Rome would not hearken to their Fathers commands but resolved to abide in the City at that time the Theater of the World for high Atchievements and Actions Their Father not prevailing with them used and delivered unto them these words My Sons if you will not return into the Country as I desired then take care I pray you that you act nothing Indignum Nomine Sempronio You My dear Coson derive some honour from your late Father much more ennobled by your worthy Mother Act nothing I beseech you that
