the_o estate_n of_o the_o commonweal_n at_o that_o time_n shall_v appear_v by_o a_o epistle_n of_o m._n brutus_n write_v to_o c._n cassius_n which_o i_o have_v here_o set_v down_o whereby_o a_o man_n

m._n brutus_n to_o c._n cassius_n send_v commendation_n according_a to_o covenant_n &_o promise_v my_o cassius_n i_o write_v unto_o thou_o such_o news_n as_o i_o have_v receive_v from_o rome_n octavius_n as_o i_o hear_v have_v marry_v himself_o to_o the_o daughter_n of_o fulvia_n the_o wife_n of_o antonius_n for_o which_o marriage_n i_o be_o neither_o very_a glad_a nor_o great_o sorry_a many_o use_v such_o marriage_n as_o pledge_n of_o reconciliation_n and_o think_v they_o of_o sufficient_a force_n to_o change_v hatred_n into_o love_n but_o be_v great_o deceive_v for_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o make_v alliance_n and_o another_o to_o make_v amity_n since_o they_o proceed_v from_o several_a cause_n and_o have_v a_o different_a course_n must_v needs_o produce_v diverse_a effect_n for_o alliance_n grow_v by_o bring_v one_o kindred_n to_o the_o march_n of_o another_o but_o friendship_n either_o by_o long_o converse_v together_o or_o by_o a_o ground_a opinion_n of_o

therefore_o by_o such_o marriage_n emnitie_n will_v not_o full_o cease_v nor_o friendship_n firm_o be_v settle_v for_o it_o be_v rather_o a_o mean_a betwixt_o these_o two_o extreme_n then_o either_o

yet_o it_o will_v appear_v that_o his_o word_n be_v contrary_a to_o his_o meaning_n for_o what_o be_v more_o averse_a from_o common_a sense_n they_o to_o call_v he_o father_n who_o he_o will_v not_o

of_o the_o commonweal_n i_o will_v have_v nothing_o do_v without_o the_o constitution_n and_o decree_n of_o the_o senate_n and_o people_n neither_o will_v i_o arrogant_o prejudicate_v or_o bold_o
