Nec Inferiorem Multo Consecuti Sunt Gloriam Sperthius & Bulis, Lacedamonij, Qui Ad Auertendam Potentissimi Regis Persarum Xerxis, Ob Occisos A Lacedemonijs Darij Patris Legatos, Vltionem, Ad Regem Profecti Sunt, & Vt Legatorum Necem In Se, Non In Patria Vlcisceretur, Erectis & Constantibus Animis Sese Obtulerunt.

Qua vero res, Sereniss.

Princeps, illos ac alios complures mouit, vt patria flagrantes amore, nullum pro ea periculum, nullas molestias, imo ne mortem ipsam recusarint, ea profecto me quoque impulit, non quidem, vt quemadmodum illi, mortem sponte oppeterem, aut me mactandum vltro offerrem, sed tamen, vt id quod solum possem, in gratiam patria tentarem: Hoc est, vt scriptorum de ea errores colligerem & rumusculos vanos refellerem: Ac ita rem profecto periculosam, & multorum forsan sinistro obnoxiam iudicio, aggrederer.

In eo proposito me etiam Cn. Pompeij exemplum confirmauit: Quem rei frumentariaa apud Romanos procuratorem, cum in summa Vrbis annona charitate, in Sicilia, Sardinia & Africa frumentum collegisset, maiorem patria, quam sui, tradunt rationem habuisse. Cum enim Romam versus properaret, & ingenti ac periculosa oborta tempestate, Naucleros trepidare, nec se ventorum aut maris savitia committere velle animaduerteret, ipse nauim primus ingressus, anchoras tolli iussit, in hac verba exclamans: Vt nauigemus vrget necessitas: vt viuamus, non vrget. Quibus vir prudentissimus innuisse videtur, patria periclitantis maiorem habendam rationem, quam priuata incolumitatis.

Hunc ego sic imitor,

(Si parua licet componere magnis, & muscam Elephanto conferre) vt collectis ac comportatis ijs, quibus ad succurrendum gentis nostra nomini ac fama, apud extraneos, ex maleuolorum quorundam inuidia iam diu laboranti vterer; paucula hac in lucem emittere, meque pelago huic quantumuis turbulento committere, lintea ventis tradere, cumque illo exclamare non dubitem:
