utrum laudatorum virorum epistalas aducere mihi liceat. Duam-
libet enim arcana politica non tractent, sed rem dumtaxat lit.

percunctatus eosem, an mihi id concederetur. C. Tencelius
plurimas earumdem habere se publice est testificatus, spem
que concitaurtat, se illas esse editurum; sic, vti licet ego
eas non emisero, alium tamen id facturum eose, dubium non

dere posse videntur, ita ut, si editionem concesseris, non
solum ego, sed plurimi multum T1BI. retulerint acceptum.
