ANNEUS SENECA to PAUL Greeting.
KNOW that my letter, wherein
I acquainted you, that I had
read to the Emperor your Epistles,
does not so much affect you as the
nature of the things (contained
in them.)
2 Which do so powerfully divert
men's minds from their former
manners and practices, that I have
always been surprised, and have
been fully convinced of it by many
arguments heretofore.
3 Let us therefore begin afresh;
and if any thing heretofore has
been imprudently acted, do you
forgive.
4 I have sent you a book decopia
verborum. Farewell, dearest Paul.
