302 _The ready way to the Latin tong._

_Brutus, Caluus_, and _Calidius_, who found fault with _Tullies_

fulnes in woordes and matter, and that rightlie, for _Tullie_ did

both, confesse it, and mend it, yet in _Cæsar_, they neither did,

nor could finde the like, or any other fault.

And therfore thus iustlie I may conclude of _Cæsar_, that

where, in all other, the best that euer wrote, in any tyme, or in

any tong, in _Greke_ or _Latin_, I except neither _Plato, Demosthenes_,

nor _Tullie_, some fault is iustlie noted, in _Cæsar_ onelie, could

neuer yet fault be found.

Yet neuertheles, for all this perfite excellencie in

him, yet it is but in one member of eloquence, and

that but of one side neither, whan we must

looke for that example to folow, which hath

a perfite head, a whole bodie, forward

and backward, armes and

legges and all.

_FINIS._
