         EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.
         EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).
         The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.
         Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.
         Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.
         Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.
         The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.
         Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

           This
           conspiracy
           was
           discovered
           to
           Pompey
           as
           he
           sat
           at

           nothing
           amazed
           him
           ,
           but
           he
           drank
           freely
           ,
           and
           was

           than
           ordinary

           But
           when

           In
           Sylla's
           time
           Pompey
           was
           at
           a
           place
           in
           Italy
           called
           Picenum

           in
           the
           Marches
           of
           Ancona
           ,
           where
           he
           had
           certain
           Lands
           ,
           but
           much
           more
           the
           love

           favour
           of
           the
           Citizens
           for
           his
           Fathers
           sake
           .
           He
           seeing
           that
           the

           he
           also
           resolved
           to
           go
           thither

           yet
           not

           a
           base
           manner

           like
           a
           Fugitive
           ,
           but
           purposed
           to
           raise
           an
           Army
           ,
           and
           to

           Sylla
           good
           service
           .
           So
           he
           made
           tryall
           of

           who
           readily
           joyned
           with

           them
           one
           Vindius
           ,
           who
           opposed
           Pompey
           ,
           saying
           ,
           
             That
             a
             Boy

             but
             the
             other
             day
             ,
             must
             now
             in
             hast

           rest
           of
           the
           Citizens
           were
           so
           incensed
           against
           him
           ,
           that
           they
           ran
           upon
           him
           and
           slew
           him
           .
        
         
           Thus
           Pompey

           Then
           began

           And
           from

           In
           this

           Pompey

           he
           first
           set
           upon
           Brutus

           having

           came
           in

           this
           while
           heard
           nothing
           of
           these
           overthrows
           which
           Pompey
           had
           given
           to
           his
           enemies
           ,
           but
           understanding
           his
           danger
           ,
           being
           environed
           with

           many
           Armes

           he
           should
           miscarry
           ,
           he
           made
           hast
           ,
           and
           marched
           to
           his
           relief
           .
        
         
           Pompey
           being
           informed
           of
           Sylla's
           approach
           ,
           commanded
           his
           Captaines
           to
           Arme
           themselves

           set
           their
           Army
           in
           good
           array

           that
           their
           Generall
           Sylla
           might
           see
           how
           bravely
           they
           were
           appointed
           .
           For
           he
           expected
           that
           Sylla
           would
           do
           him
           great
           honour
           ,
           
           as
           indeed
           he
           did
           ,
           even
           beyond
           his
           expectation
           :
           For
           when
           Sylla
           saw
           him
           afar
           off
           ,
           coming
           towards
           him
           ,
           and
           his
           Army
           marshalled
           in
           such
           good
           order
           of
           Battell
           ,
           and
           his
           men
           so
           bravely
           advancing
           themselves
           ,
           being
           elated
           with
           their
           late
           Victories
           ,
           he
           alighted
           from
           his
           Horse
           ;
           and
           when
           Pompey
           came
           to
           do
           his
           duty
           to
           him
           ,
           and
           called
           him
           Emperour
           ,
           or
           Soveraigne
           Prince
           ,
           Sylla
           resaluted
           him
           with
           the
           same
           Title
           ,
           which
           made
           all
           that
           were
           present
           to
           wonder
           that
           he
           would
           give
           so
           honourable
           a
           name
           to
           so
           young
           a
           man
           as
           Pompey
           was
           ,
           
           who
           as
           yet
           was
           not
           made
           a
           Sanator
           :
           Considering
           also
           that
           Sylla
           himself
           did
           now
           contend
           for
           that
           Title
           ,
           and
           Dignity
           with
           Marius
           ,
           and
           Scipio
           .
           The
           intertainment
           also
           that
           Sylla
           gave
           him
           afterwards
           ,
           was
           every
           way
           answerable
           to
           the
           first
           kindnesse
           that
           he
           shewed
           him
           .
           For
           when
           Pompey
           at
           any
           time
           came
           to
           him
           ,
           he
           would
           rise
           up
           ,
           and
           put
           off
           his
           Cap
           to
           him
           ,
           which
           he
           did
           not
           to
           any
           other
           Noble
           man
           that
           was
           about

           :
           Yet
           was
           not
           Pompey
           puffed
           up
           with
           all
           this
           ,
           nor
           the
           prouder

           it

           Shortly
           after
           Sylla
           would
           have
           sent
           Pompey
           into
           Gaul
           (
           now
           France
           )
           because

           Roman
           Generall
           there

           was
           thought
           to
           have
           done
           no
           exploit
           worthy
           of
           so
           great

           him
           :
           But
           Pompey
           answered
           ,
           that
           there
           was
           no
           reason
           to
           displace
           an
           ancient
           Captain
           that
           was
           of
           greater
           fame

           Yet
           (
           said
           he
           )
           if
           Metellus
           
             himself

             contented

             willingly
             go
             ,
             and
             help
             him
             to
             end
             this
             War.
             Metellus
          
           being
           informed
           hereof
           ,
           wrote
           for
           him
           to

           Pompey
           then
           entering
           Gaul
           ,
           did
           of
           himself
           wonderfull
           explots

           first
           beginnings
           ,
           and
           were
           wholly
           obscured
           by
           the
           luster
           of
           those
           many
           Wars
           ,
           and
           great
           Battels
           which
           he
           fought
           afterwards
           .
        
         
           When
           Sylla

           over
           come
           all
           Italy

           and
           was
           proclaimed
           Dictator
           ,
           he
           rewarded
           all
           the
           great
           Captains
           ,

           his
           part

           to
           honourable
           places

           they
           requested
           of
           him
           ;
           But
           for
           Pompey
           ,
           highly
           esteeming
           him
           for
           his
           Valour
           ,
           and
           thinking
           that
           he
           would
           be
           a
           great
           support
           to
           him
           in
           all
           his
           Wars
           ,
           he
           sought
           by
           some
           meanes
           to
           ally

           Metella

           his
           Wife
           being
           also
           of
           the
           same
           opinion
           ,
           
           they
           both
           perswaded
           him
           to
           put
           away
           his
           Wife
           Antistia
           ,

           to
           marry
           Aemilia
           ,
           who
           was
           Daughter
           to
           Metella
           by
           a
           former
           Husband
           ,
           though
           she
           was
           married
           to
           an
           other

           now
           with
           child
           by
           him
           .
           These
           marriages
           were
           wicked
           ,
           and
           Tyrannicall
           ,
           
           fitter
           for
           Sylla's
           time

           than
           agreeable
           to

           nature

           and
           condition
           .
           And
           truly
           it
           was
           a
           shamefull
           thing
           for
           Pompey
           to
           forsake
           his
           Wife
           Antistia
           ,
           who

           lost
           her
           Father
           ,
           that
           was
           murthered
           in
           the
           very
           Senate
           House
           upon
           suspition
           that
           he
           took
           part
           with
           Sylla
           for
           his
           Son
           Pompey's
           sake
           :
           and
           to
           take
           Aemilia
           from
           her
           lawfull
           Husband
           ,
           by
           whom
           she
           was
           great
           with
           child
           ,
           and
           to
           whom
           she
           had
           been
           married
           not
           long
           before
           :
           which
           also
           caused
           the
           Mother
           of
           Antistia
           to
           lay
           violent
           hands
           upon
           her self
           ,
           seeing
           her
           Daughter

           receive
           such
           open
           and
           notorious
           wrong
           .
           But
           God
           who
           hates
           such
           Injustice
           ,
           and
           cruelty
           ,
           followed
           Pompey
           with
           this
           Judgement
           ,
           that
           his
           Wife
           Aemilia
           died
           miserably
           presently
           after
           in
           childbirth
           in
           his
           House
           .
        
         
           About
           this
           time
           newes
           was
           brought
           to
           Sylla
           ,
           that
           Perpenna
           was
           gotten
           into
           Sicilie
           ,
           and
           had
           brought
           all
           that
           Island
           into
           subjection
           to
           him
           ,
           where
           he
           might
           safely
           intertain
           all
           Sylla's
           enemies
           :
           That
           Carbo
           also
           kept
           the
           Seas
           thereabouts
           with
           a
           certaine
           number
           of
           〈…〉
           
           was
           gone
           into
           Africk
           ,
           to
           whom
           resorted
           many
           other
           Noblemen
           who
           were
           escaped
           from
           the
           proscriptions
           and
           outlaries
           of
           Sylla
           .
        
         
           Against
           all
           these
           was
           Pompey
           sent
           by
           his
           Father
           in
           Law
           with
           a
           great
           Army
           ,
           
           who
           no
           sooner
           was
           arrived
           in
           Sicily
           but
           Perpe●na
           fled
           ,
           and
           left
           the
           Island
           to
           him
           .
           Then
           did
           Pompey
           deale
           friendly
           and
           favourably
           with
           all
           the
           Cities
           which
           before
           had
           endured
           great
           troubles
           and
           misery
           ,
           and
           set
           them
           again
           at
           liberty
           ,
           the
           Mamertines
           only
           excepted
           ,
           who
           dwelt
           in
           Messina
           :
           they
           despising
           his
           juridiction
           and
           Government
           ,
           
           pleaded
           the
           ancient
           priviledges
           of
           the
           Romanes
           which
           had
           been
           formerly
           granted
           unto
           them
           .
           But
           Pompey
           answered
           them
           angerly
           ,
           
             What
             do
             you
             pr●ting
             to
             us
             of
             your
             Law
             that
             have
             our
             Swords
             by

             sides
             ?
          
           
           He
           dealt
           also
           too
           cruelly
           with
           Carbo
           in
           his
           misery
           ;
           for
           he
           might
           have
           killed
           him
           in
           hot
           blood
           when
           he
           first
           fell
           into
           his
           hands
           with
           lesse
           blame
           :
           But
           Pompey
           ,
           when
           he
           was
           taken
           ,
           caused
           him
           to
           be
           brought
           before
           him
           ,
           though
           he
           had
           been
           thrice
           Consul
           ,
           and
           to
           be
           publickly
           examined
           ,
           sitting
           himself
           in
           his
           Tribunall
           ,
           and
           condemned
           him
           to
           die
           in
           the

           the
           great

           accordingly
           .
        
         
           Pompey
           dealt
           as
           cruelly
           also
           with
           
             Quintus
             Valerius
          
           ,
           a
           man
           of
           rare
           parts

           and
           excellent
           Learning

           who
           being
           brought
           to
           Pompey
           ,
           he
           took
           him
           aside
           ,
           and
           walked
           a
           few
           turns
           with
           him
           ,
           and
           when
           he
           had
           learned
           what
           he
           could
           of
           him
           ,
           he
           commanded
           his
           Guard
           to
           take
           him
           away

           dispatch
           him

           Pompey
           indeed
           was
           compelled
           to
           make
           away
           all
           Sylla's
           enemies
           that
           fell
           into

           But
           for
           the
           rest
           ,
           all
           that
           he
           could
           suffer

           to
           steale
           away
           ,
           he
           willingly
           connived
           at
           it
           ,
           and
           would
           not
           take
           notice
           of
           it
           ,
           yea
           ,
           himself
           did
           help
           many
           to
           save
           themselves
           by

           Pompey
           had
           determined
           to
           have
           taken
           sharp
           revenge
           of

           City

           Himerians
           ,
           who
           had
           stoutly
           taken

           the
           
           City
           ,
           craving
           audience
           of
           Pompey
           ,
           told
           him
           boldly
           ,
           that
           he
           should
           doe
           great
           injustice
           if
           he
           should
           pardon
           him
           ,
           who
           was
           the
           only
           offender
           ,
           and
           destroy

           Pompey
           then
           asking
           him

             what
             was

           much
           pleased

           being
           informed
           that

           he
           caused

           he
           said

             that
             it

             my
             destiny

             my
             old
             age
             to

             with

             .
          
           This
           he
           said
           ,
           because
           of
           Marius
           the
           yonger
           ,
           who
           had
           done
           him
           much
           mischief
           ,
           and
           had
           greatly
           endangered
           him

           But
           afterwards

           understanding
           the
           truth
           ,
           
           and
           hearing
           that
           all
           generally
           in
           Rome
           would
           go
           to
           meet
           Pompey
           ,
           and
           receive
           him
           with
           all
           the
           honour
           they
           could
           ,
           he
           resolved
           to
           go
           beyond
           them
           all

           of
           good
           will

           wherefore
           going
           out
           of
           his
           House
           to
           meet
           him
           ,
           he
           embraced
           him
           with
           great
           affection
           ,
           and
           welcomed
           him
           home
           ,
           calling
           him
           M●g●us
           that
           is
           Great
           ,
           and
           commanded
           all
           that
           were
           present
           to
           give
           him
           that
           Name
           also
           .
           
        
         
           After
           this
           Pompey
           required
           the
           honour
           of
           a
           Triumph
           ,
           which
           Sylla
           opposed
           ,
           affirming
           that
           this
           honour
           should
           be
           granted
           to
           none
           but
           to
           such
           as
           had
           been
           Consuls
           ,
           or
           at
           least
           Praetors
           :
           He
           told
           him
           also
           ,
           that
           if
           he
           should
           stand
           for
           it
           he
           would
           oppose
           him
           .
           Pompey
           was
           not
           discouraged
           herewith
           ,
           but
           boldly
           told
           him
           ,
           
             That
             all
             men

           Lepidus
           brought
           his
           Army
           to
           the
           Gates
           of
           Rome
           ,
           demanding
           his
           second
           Consulship
           ,
           which
           much
           affrighted
           the
           People
           :
           But
           they
           were
           soon
           comforted
           by
           a
           Letter
           which
           Pompey
           sent
           ,
           wherein
           he
           informed
           them
           that
           he
           had
           ended
           his
           Wars
           without
           bloodshed
           .
           For
           Brutus
           had
           yeilded
           himself
           to
           Pompey
           who
           had
           slaine
           him
           .
        
         
           Shortly
           after
           ,
           Lepidus
           was
           driven
           out
           of
           Italy
           into
           Sardinia
           ,
           where
           he
           fell
           sick
           ,
           and
           died
           .
           At
           this
           time
           Sertorius
           was
           in
           Spain
           ,
           who
           kept
           the
           Romans
           in
           great
           aw●
           ,
           being
           a
           valiant
           Captain
           ▪
           and
           one
           to
           whom
           all
           the
           Fu●gitives
           resorted
           .
           He
           had
           already
           overthrown
           many
           inferiour
           Captaines
           ,
           and
           was
           now
           grapling
           with
           
             Metellus
             Pius
          
           ,
           who
           in
           his
           youth
           had
           been
           a
           Noble
           Souldier
           ,
           but
           now
           being
           old
           ,
           and
           too
           wary
           ,
           he
           neglected
           many
           opportunities
           ,
           which
           Sertorius
           ,
           by
           his
           dexterity
           took
           out
           of
           his
           hands
           .
        
         
           Hereupon
           Pompey
           keeping
           his
           Army
           together
           ,
           endeavoured
           ,
           by
           the
           help
           of
           his
           Friends
           ,
           to
           be
           sent
           into
           Spain
           ,
           as
           an
           assistant
           to
           Metellus
           :
           and
           at
           last
           ,
           by
           the
           endeavour
           of
           
             Lucius
             Philippicus
          
           ,
           he
           obtained
           the
           Government
           of
           that
           Country
           .
        
         
           When
           Pompey
           was
           arrived
           in
           
             Spain
             ,
             Sertorius
          
           gave
           out
           bitter
           j●ers
           against
           him
           ,
           saying
           ,
           
             That
             he
             would

             no
             other

           and
           that
           ,
           
           
             if
             he
             were
             not
             affraid
             of
             the
             old
             woman
             ,
          
           meaning
           
             Metellus
             ,
             much
             less
             was
             he
             afraid
             of
             him
             .
          
           Yet
           for
           all
           these
           brags
           ,
           he
           stood
           better
           upon
           his
           guard
           ,
           and
           went
           stronger
           to
           fight
           than
           he
           did
           before
           ,
           being
           afraid
           of
           Pompey
           .
           In
           this
           War
           the
           successe
           was
           very
           various
           ,
           yet
           nothing
           grieved
           Pompey
           more
           than
           Sertorius
           his
           winning
           the
           City
           La●ron
           .
           
           Yet
           shortly
           after
           in
           a
           set
           Battel
           ,
           near
           the
           City
           of
           Valentia
           ,
           he
           slew
           Herennius
           ,
           and
           Perpena
           ,
           both
           gallant
           Souldiers
           ,
           and
           Leiutenants
           to
           Sertorius
           ,
           with
           ten
           thousand
           of
           their
           men
           .
           This
           Victory
           so
           encouraged
           Pompey
           ,
           that
           he
           hasted
           to
           fight
           with
           Sertorius
           himself
           before
           Metullus
           came
           to
           him
           ,
           that
           he
           might
           have
           the
           sole
           Glory
           of
           the
           Conquest
           .
           So
           they
           both
           met
           by
           the
           River
           of
           Sueron
           in
           the
           evening
           ▪
           
           both
           fearing
           the
           comming
           of
           Metellus
           ,
           the
           one
           that
           he
           might
           fight
           alone
           ,
           the
           other
           that
           he
           miget
           fight
           with
           one
           alone
           .
           But
           when
           it
           came
           to
           triall
           ,
           the
           Victory
           fell
           out
           doubtfull
           ,
           for
           either
           of
           their
           wings
           had
           the
           upper
           hand
           :
           Sertorius

           this
           Battell
           ,
           bearing
           all
           before
           him
           wheresoever
           he
           went
           :
           and
           Pompey
           encountering
           a
           great
           man
           at
           Armes
           ,
           cut
           off
           one
           of
           his
           hands
           ,
           yet
           he
           escaped
           by
           turning
           up
           his
           Horse
           with
           very
           rich
           caparisons
           amongst
           Pompey's
           followers
           ,
           and
           whilest
           they
           were
           contending
           about
           the
           Horse

           The
           next
           morning
           very
           early
           ,
           both

           Generals
           brought

           which
           either
           of

           of

           as
           out
           of
           good
           will
           ▪
           But
           when
           he
           told
           them
           ,
           that
           he
           would
           disband
           his
           Army
           so
           soon
           as
           he
           had
           Tryumphed
           ,
           then
           his
           ill-willers
           could
           blame
           him
           for
           nothing
           ,
           but
           that
           he
           inclined
           more
           to
           the
           People
           than
           to
           the
           Nobles
           ;
           and
           because
           he
           desired
           to
           restore
           the
           Tribuneship
           to
           the
           People

           which
           Sylla

           Indeed
           the
           common
           People
           at
           Rome
           never
           longed
           for
           any
           thing
           more
           than
           they
           did
           to
           see
           the
           Office
           of
           the
           Tribunes
           set
           up
           again
           :
           
           and
           Pompey
           was
           very
           glad
           that
           he
           had
           such
           an
           oppo●tunity

           thereby
           to
           ingratiate
           himself
           with
           them

           and
           to
           requi●e
           the
           love
           which
           they
           had
           shewed
           to
           him
           .
           This
           was
           the
           second
           Tryumph
           ,
           and
           the
           first
           Consulship
           which
           the
           Senate
           decreed
           to
           Pompey
           ,
           which
           made
           him
           neither
           the
           greater
           ,
           nor
           the
           better

           Yet

           such

           and
           eloquentest
           man
           in
           Rome
           )
           durst
           not
           demand
           before
           he
           had
           requested
           Pompey's
           good
           will
           therein
           :
           And
           truely
           Pompey
           was
           very
           glad
           of
           the
           request
           ,
           having
           of
           a
           long
           time
           sought
           an
           opportunity
           whereby
           to
           gratifie
           him
           ,
           and
           therefore
           he
           made
           earnest
           suit
           to
           the
           People
           for
           him
           ,
           assuring
           them
           that
           he
           would
           as
           much
           thank
           them
           for
           making
           Crassus
           his
           fellow-Consul
           ,
           and
           Colleague
           ,
           as
           he
           would
           for
           making
           himself
           Consul
           .
        
         
           Yet
           when
           Pompey
           had
           obtained
           his
           request
           ,
           and
           they
           were
           both
           created
           Consuls
           ,
           they
           were
           in
           all
           things
           contrary
           one
           to
           the
           other
           ,
           and
           never
           agreed
           in
           any
           one
           thing
           whilest
           they
           ruled
           together
           :
           Crassus
           had
           the
           more
           authority
           with
           the
           Senate
           ,
           and
           Pompey
           with
           the
           People
           :
           for
           he
           restored
           to
           them
           the
           Office
           of
           Tribunes
           ,
           and
           passed
           by
           Edict
           ,
           that
           the
           Knights
           of
           Rome
           should
           have

           Civil
           and
           Criminall
           .
           This
           wonderfully
           pleased
           the
           people
           ,
           when
           himself
           came
           in
           Person
           to
           the
           Censors

           and
           pray'd
           that
           he
           might
           be
           dispensed

           the
           Wars

           At
           this
           time
           Gellius
           and
           Lentulus
           were
           the
           Censors

           who
           being
           honourably

           seats
           ,
           taking
           a
           view
           of
           all
           the

           mustered
           before
           
           them
           ,
           they
           marvelled
           when
           they
           saw
           Pompey
           comming

           a
           Consul
           borne
           before

           (
           as
           other
           Knights
           did

           Horse
           by
           the
           bridle
           :
           and
           when
           he
           came
           neer
           ,
           he
           commanded
           the
           Sergeants
           that
           carried
           the
           Axes

           to
           make
           room
           for
           him
           to
           pass
           by
           the

           with
           his
           Horse
           ,
           
           where
           the
           Censors
           sate
           .
           This
           made
           the
           People
           to
           flock
           about
           him
           ,
           wondring
           and
           rejoycing
           with
           great
           silence

           the
           Censors
           themselves
           also
           were
           marvellous
           glad
           to
           see
           him

           did
           him
           great
           reverence
           .
           Then
           did
           the
           elder
           of
           the

             I

             ,
             if
             thou
             didst

             Pompey
          
           answered
           aloud
           ,
           Yes
           verily
           have

           hearing
           this
           ,
           shouted
           aloud

           and
           the
           Censors
           themselves
           came
           down
           from
           their
           seats

           and
           accompanied
           Pompey
           to
           his
           House

             you
             granted
             the

           Having
           thus
           spoken

           if
           they

           These
           Pirats
           had
           all

           of

           mighty
           Kings

           It
           gave

           as
           he
           pleased
           .
        
         
           This
           Law
           was
           confirmed
           by
           the
           People
           .
           Yet
           the
           Nobility
           ,
           and
           chiefe
           Senators
           thought
           that
           this
           authority
           did
           exceed
           ,
           not
           only
           all
           envy
           ,
           but
           that
           it
           gave
           them
           apparent
           cause
           of
           fear
           to
           give
           such
           unlimited
           power
           to
           a
           single
           Person
           :
           whereupon
           they
           were
           all
           against
           it
           but
           Caesar
           ,
           who
           promoted
           it
           ,
           not
           so
           much
           to
           favour
           Pompey
           ,
           as
           to
           ingratiate
           himself
           with
           the
           People
           .
           But
           the
           Noblemen
           fell
           out
           with
           Pompey
           ,
           and
           one
           of
           the
           Consuls
           was
           very
           hot
           with
           him
           ,
           told
           him
           that
           he
           sought
           to
           follow
           Romulus
           his
           steps
           ,
           but
           peradventure
           he
           would
           come
           short
           of
           that
           end
           he
           made
           :
           This
           so
           provoked
           the
           People
           that
           they
           had
           thought
           to
           have
           killed
           him
           :
           But
           Catulus
           ,
           a
           worthy
           man
           ,
           spake
           also
           against
           this
           Edict
           ,
           yet
           spake
           much
           in
           the
           praise
           of
           Pompey
           ,
           and
           in
           conclusion
           ,
           
           avised
           the
           People
           not
           to
           adventure
           a
           man
           of
           so
           great
           account
           in
           such
           dangerous
           Wars
           ;
           For
           (
           said
           he
           )
           
             if
             you
             chance
             to
             lose
             him
             ,
             whom
             have
             ye
             then
             to
             put
             in
             his
             place
             ?
          
           The
           People
           cried
           out
           ,
           Your selfe
           .
           After
           this
           ,
           seeing
           how
           the
           People
           were
           bent
           ,
           he
           spake
           no
           more
           .
        
         
           Next
           after
           him
           Rosoius
           would
           have
           preswaded
           them
           to
           have
           sent
           an
           other

           Pompey
           as
           his
           Colleague
           ,
           but
           the
           People
           made
           such
           an
           outcry
           against
           him
           ,
           that
           a
           Crow
           flying
           over
           the
           Market
           place
           fell
           to
           the
           Ground
           .
           
           Upon
           the
           day
           when
           the
           Decree
           was
           to
           be
           fully
           passed
           ,
           Pompey
           went
           forth
           of
           the
           City
           ,
           and
           when
           he
           understood
           that
           it
           was
           confirmed
           ,
           he
           returned
           the
           same
           night
           privately
           ,
           to
           avoid
           the
           envy
           they
           would
           have
           borne
           him
           if
           the
           People
           should
           have
           flocked
           in
           multitudes
           to
           have
           waited
           on
           him
           home
           .
        
         
           The
           next
           morning
           he
           came
           abroad
           ,
           and
           Sacrificed
           to
           the
           Gods
           ,
           and
           audience
           being
           given
           him
           in
           a
           publick
           meeting
           ,
           he
           so
           handled
           the
           matter
           that
           they
           much
           inlarged
           his
           power
           ,
           almost
           doubling
           the
           preparations
           ,
           which
           were
           at
           first
           Decreed
           to
           him
           .
           For
           it
           was
           ordained
           that

           He
           also
           released

           a
           meeting
           betwixt

           together

           and
           accordingly
           they
           met
           in
           Galatia

           having
           their
           Sergeants

           before
           them
           ,
           which
           shewed
           that
           Pompey
           came
           to
           take

           honour
           from

           Indeed

           Consul
           before

           the
           older
           man
           ,
           yet
           Pompey
           exceeded
           him
           in
           Dignity
           ,
           having
           Triumphed
           twice
           .
           At
           their
           first
           meeting
           they
           discoursed
           very
           courteously

           each
           commending
           the
           others
           deeds
           ,
           and
           each
           rejoicing
           at
           the
           others
           good
           successe
           :
           but
           at
           parting
           they
           fell
           to
           hot
           words
           ;
           Pompey
           upbrading
           Lucullus's
           covetousnesse
           ,
           and
           Pompey's
           ambition
           ,
           so
           that
           their
           Friends
           had
           much
           ado

           ,
           who
           had
           in
           his

           but
           encamped
           upon
           an
           high
           Mountain
           till
           he
           was
           forced
           to

           He
           was
           no
           sooner
           gone
           but
           Pompey
           seized
           upon
           the
           place
           ,
           and

           his
           Souldiers
           to
           dig
           ,
           he
           found
           Water
           enough
           for
           all
           his
           Army
           .
           Then
           he
           encamped
           round
           about
           Methridates
           besieging
           him
           in
           his
           owne
           Camp
           :
           Methridates
           endured
           it
           foutty
           five
           dayes
           ,
           and
           then
           slaying
           all
           the
           sick
           and
           impotent
           in
           his
           Camp
           ,
           with
           the
           choise
           of
           his
           Army
           he
           escaped
           by
           night
           .
        
         
           Another
           time
           Pompey
           found
           him
           by
           the
           River
           Euphrates
           ,
           and
           lodged
           hard
           by
           him
           :
           Methridates
           prepared
           ,
           suspecting
           that
           Pompey
           would
           that
           night
           storm
           his
           Camp
           ;
           but
           Pompey
           thought
           it
           not
           sa●e
           to
           fight
           in
           the
           dark
           ,
           and
           therefore
           resolved
           rather
           to
           encompasse
           him
           that
           he
           might
           not
           fly
           ,
           and
           to
           fight
           him
           in
           the
           morning
           :
           but
           Pompey's
           old
           Captains
           would
           needs
           fight
           presently
           ,
           which
           Pompey
           at
           last
           consented
           to
           ,
           and
           the
           Romanes
           r●n
           upon
           them
           with
           great
           cries
           ,
           which
           so
           affrighted
           their
           enemies
           ,
           that
           they
           presently
           turned
           their
           backs
           and
           fled
           ,
           so
           that
           the
           Romans
           slew
           ten
           thousand
           of
           them
           ,
           and
           took
           their
           Camp.

           through
           the
           Romans
           and
           so
           escaped
           :
           Yet
           as
           soon
           as
           they
           were

           who
           never
           left
           him
           ,
           but
           alwayes
           looked
           to
           his
           Horse

           being

           till
           he
           came
           to
           a

           Castle

           Pompey
           built
           a
           City
           in
           the

           Nicopolis
           .
           This
           City
           he
           gave

           the
           Nicopolitans
           lived
           after

           From

           but
           King
           Tigranes
           prohibited
           it
           ,
           and
           promised
           an
           hundred
           Tallents
           to

           by
           the
           head
           of
           Euphrates
           ,
           he
           fled
           through
           the
           Country
           of

           :
           In
           the
           mean
           time
           Pompey
           invaded
           Armenia
           ,
           being
           sollicited
           thereto
           by
           Tigranes
           the
           younger
           ,
           who
           rebelled
           against
           his
           Father
           ,
           and
           met
           Pompey
           at
           the
           River
           of

             Caspian
             Sea.
          
           Then
           did
           Pompey
           and
           he
           march
           forward
           ,
           taking

           weakned
           by
           Lucullus
           ,
           understanding
           that
           Pompey
           was
           of
           a
           mild
           and
           gentle
           nature

           he

           Friends
           ,
           and
           Kinsmen
           went
           to
           meet
           Pompey
           .
           When

           when
           he
           came
           before
           Pompey
           he
           shamfully
           fell
           upon
           the
           ground

           Tigranes
           accepted
           of
           the
           Conditions
           ,
           whereupon
           the
           Romans
           saluted
           him
           King
           ,
           and
           he
           gave
           great
           summes
           of
           money
           amongst
           the
           Army
           :
           But
           his
           Son
           was
           much
           discontented
           ,
           and
           when
           Pompey
           sent
           for
           him
           to
           come
           to
           Suppe
           with
           him
           ,
           he
           refused
           ,
           wherefore
           Pompey
           imprisoned
           him
           ,
           and
           kept
           him
           to
           be
           led
           in
           his
           Triumph
           at
           Rome
           .
        
         
           Shortly
           after
           Phraates
           ,
           King
           of
           Parthia
           ,
           sent
           Ambassadors
           to
           desire
           this
           young
           Prince
           who
           was
           his
           Son
           in
           Law
           ,
           and
           to
           tell
           Pompey
           that
           Euphrates
           must
           be
           the
           uttermost
           bounds
           of
           his
           Conquest
           .
           Pompey
           answered
           ,
           that
           Tygranes
           had
           more
           right
           to
           his
           Son
           than
           Phraates
           ,
           &
           as
           for
           limiting
           his
           borders
           ,
           he
           would
           do
           it
           with
           justice
           .
           So
           leaving
           Afranius
           to
           keep
           Armenia
           ,
           he
           passed
           by
           other
           Nations
           that
           inhabited
           about
           the
           Mountaine
           of
           Caucasus
           ,
           having
           Methridates
           in
           chase
           .
           Two
           of
           the
           chiefest
           of
           these
           Nations
           were
           the
           Iberians
           ,
           and
           the
           Albani●ns
           ,
           neere
           to
           the
           Caspian
           Sea.
           These
           ,
           upon
           his
           request
           ,
           suffered
           him
           to
           Passe
           through
           their
           Countries
           .
           But
           Winter
           hasting
           on
           apace
           ,
           these
           Barberous
           People
           raised
           an
           Army
           of
           fourty
           thousand
           fighting
           men
           ,
           and
           passed
           over
           the
           River
           of
           
             Cyrnus
             .
             Pompey
          
           could
           have
           hindered
           their
           passage
           ,
           but
           yet
           let
           them
           come
           over
           ,
           and
           then
           fought
           with
           them
           ,
           
           and
           overcame
           them
           ,
           and
           slew
           multitudes
           of
           them
           in
           the
           Field
           ,
           whereupon
           they
           submitted
           ,
           and
           made
           peace
           with
           him
           .
        
         
           Then
           Pompey
           went
           against
           the
           Iberians
           ,
           who
           took
           part
           with
           Methridates
           .
           
           They
           were
           more
           and
           better
           Souldiers
           than
           the
           Albanians
           :
           they
           were
           never
           subject
           to
           the
           Medes
           ,
           and
           Persians
           ,
           nor
           to
           Alexander
           the
           Great
           .
           
           These
           Pompey
           overcame
           also
           in
           a
           bloudy
           fight
           ,
           and
           slew
           nine
           thousand
           of
           them
           ,
           and
           took
           ten
           th●●sand
           Prisoners
           .
           From
           thence
           he
           went
           into
           the
           Country
           of
           C●lchide
           ,
           where
           Servilius
           met
           him
           by
           the
           River
           of
           Phasis
           ,
           with
           his
           Fleet
           with
           which
           he
           kept
           the
           Pontick
           Sea
           :
           He
           found
           it
           a
           hard
           work
           to
           pursue
           Methridates
           any
           further
           ,
           who
           had
           hid
           himself
           amongst
           a
           People
           that
           bordred
           upon
           the
           Lake
           of
           Maeot●s
           .
           He
           heard
           also
           that
           the
           Albanians

           with
           much
           difficulty
           ,
           because
           the
           Barbarous
           People
           had
           made

           on
           the
           further

           and
           when
           he
           was
           got
           over

           to
           any
           Water

           whereupon
           he

           so
           marched
           over
           it
           .
           At
           the
           River
           Abas
           he

           and
           slew
           him
           .
           Some
           say
           that
           some
           Amazons

           was
           forced
           to
           retreat
           by
           reason

           wherefore
           he

           honourably
           bu●ied
           ,
           which
           thing
           Lucullus
           had
           neglected
           to
           do

           he
           marched
           into
           Syria
           ,
           and
           conquered
           it

           where
           he
           took
           King
           Aristobulus
           :
           He
           built
           certaine
           Cities

           Tyrants
           in
           them
           .
           He
           also
           spent
           much
           of
           his
           time
           there

           in
           deciding

           which
           covered
           many
           faults

           his
           familier
           Friends
           about

           For
           he
           was
           of

           a
           gentle
           nature

           who
           contended

           Pompey
           understanding
           that
           Aristobulus
           was
           fled

           Hill
           ,
           he
           sent
           and
           summoned
           him
           to
           come
           unto
           him

           and
           Aristobu●us

           advised
           not

           against
           the

           he
           came
           to
           Pompey

           and
           after
           he
           had
           debated
           his
           Title
           to
           the

           by
           Pompey's
           permission
           he
           retired
           into
           the
           Castle
           again
           This

           two
           or
           three
           times
           ,
           alwayes
           flattering
           Pompey

           Yet
           Pompey
           required
           that
           he
           should
           deliver
           up

           at

           ,
           and
           therefore
           he
           went
           to

           Pompey
           not
           thinking
           it
           fit
           to
           give
           him
           any
           time
           for

           first
           encamped
           
           at
           Jericho

           where

           presently
           marched
           against
           Jerusalem

           The
           Citizens

           at
           this
           time
           divided

           stood
           for
           Hyrcanus

           open
           the
           Gates
           to
           Pompey

           But
           the
           faction
           of
           Aristobulus
           refused
           ,
           and
           prepared
           for
           War

           because

           King
           Prisoner

           and
           accordingly
           they
           seized
           upon
           the
           Temple

           and
           cut

           and
           delivered
           over

           of
           both
           which
           ,
           Pompey
           committed
           to
           Pis●
           ,
           who
           fortified
           the
           Houses
           and
           buildings
           that
           were
           neere
           the
           Temple

           first
           offering
           to
           the
           Besieged
           conditions
           of
           of
           Peace

           and
           when
           they
           refused
           ,
           he
           prepared
           to
           give
           a
           Generall
           assault
           ,
           being
           assisted
           by
           Hyrcanus
           with
           all
           things
           needfull
           .
        
         
           On
           the
           North
           side
           of
           the
           City
           Pompey
           encamped
           ,
           which
           was
           the
           easiest
           to
           be
           assaulted
           :
           yet
           were
           there
           high
           Towers
           ,
           and
           a
           deep
           ditch
           made
           with
           hands
           ,
           
           besides
           a
           deep
           valley
           which
           begirt
           the
           Temple
           ,
           and
           towards
           the
           City
           ,
           the
           place
           was
           very
           steep
           when
           the
           Bridge
           was
           taken
           away
           .
           To
           overcome
           these
           difficulties
           ,
           the
           Romans
           raised
           Mounts
           ,
           cuting
           downe
           Trees
           round
           about
           ,
           and
           filling
           up
           the
           Trench
           with
           materials
           which
           the
           Souldiers
           brought
           .
           This
           work
           proved
           very
           difficult
           ,
           considering
           the
           vast
           depth
           of
           the
           Trench
           ,
           and
           the
           resistance
           of
           the
           Jewes
           ,
           made
           from
           above
           .
           But
           when
           Pompey
           observed
           that
           the
           Jewes
           rested
           every
           seventh
           Day
           (
           for
           though
           
           they
           would
           defend
           themselves
           from
           an
           assailing
           enemy
           ,
           yet
           they
           held
           it
           unlawfull
           on
           that
           day
           to
           hinder
           any
           work
           that
           the
           enemy
           did
           )
           he
           chose
           those
           Dayes
           especially
           wherein
           to
           carry
           on
           his
           work
           :
           So
           that
           in
           time
           the
           Trench
           was
           filled
           ,
           and
           the
           Tower
           fitted
           upon
           the
           Moun●
           ,
           and
           the
           Engins
           planted
           which
           shot
           huge
           stones
           wherewith
           they
           battered
           the
           Temple
           ,
           yet
           was
           it
           long
           before
           those
           strong
           and
           stately
           Towers
           yeilded
           to
           the
           assaults
           of
           the
           besiegers
           .
        
         
           The
           Romans
           being
           much
           tired
           ,
           Pompey
           wondred
           at
           the
           obstinacy
           of
           the
           Jewes
           ,
           especially
           considering
           that
           all
           this
           while
           they
           never
           intermitted
           their
           daily
           Sacrifices
           ,
           which
           the

           every

           many
           of

           As

           and
           gave
           each
           of

           a
           Talent
           .
           The
           like
           he
           did
           at
           Athens
           unto
           the
           Philosophers

           beautifying
           of
           the
           City

           gave
           them
           fifty
           Talents
           .
        
         
         
           At
           his
           return
           into
           Italy
           he
           expected
           to
           have
           been
           received
           very
           honourably
           ,
           and
           longed
           to
           see
           his
           Wife

           and
           Children

           thinking
           also
           that
           they
           longed
           as
           much
           to
           see
           him
           :
           But
           God
           so
           ordered
           it
           ,
           that
           in
           his
           own
           House
           he
           met
           with
           occasion
           of
           sorrow
           :
           For
           his
           Wife
           Mutia

           his
           absence
           had
           played
           the
           Harlot
           .
           Yet
           whilst
           he
           was
           a
           far
           off
           ,
           he
           made
           no
           account
           of
           the
           reports
           which
           were
           made
           to
           him
           of
           her
           :
           But
           when

           to
           to
           Italy
           ,
           he
           was
           more
           attentive
           to
           them
           ,
           
           whereupon
           he
           sent
           her
           word
           he
           would
           own

           no
           more
           for
           his
           Wife

           much
           troubled

           Yet

           Pompey

           would
           not
           disband
           his
           Army

           sought
           to
           strengthen
           himself
           against

           them

           the
           People

           bribed
           by
           Caesar

           he
           left
           the

           without
           a
           Magistrate

           so
           that

           Hereupon
           a

           But
           when
           Pompey's
           Friends
           excused
           him

           saying

           highly

           People
           ,
           Feasting

           Yet
           some
           thought
           that
           this
           was
           the
           cause
           of
           the
           Civil
           Wars
           that
           ensued
           .
           For
           hereupon
           he
           grew
           so
           proud
           to
           see
           himself
           thus
           honoured
           ,
           
           that
           forgetting
           his
           former
           Government
           ,
           he
           began
           to
           dispise
           Caesar
           ,
           thinking
           that
           he
           could
           easily
           overcome
           him
           when
           he
           pleased
           .
           Besides
           ,
           Appius
           that
           brought
           him
           his
           two
           Legions
           from
           Caesar
           out
           of
           Gaul
           ,
           reproached
           much
           his
           doings
           there
           ,
           and
           gave
           out
           many
           foul
           words
           against
           Caesar.
           For
           he
           said
           that
           Pompey
           knew
           not
           his
           own
           strength
           ,
           who
           might
           overcome
           Caesar
           with
           his
           own
           Legions
           ,
           for
           that
           when
           they
           saw
           Pompey
           ,
           they
           would
           forsake
           Caesar
           and
           turne
           to
           him
           .
        
         
           These
           flattering
           speeches
           made
           Pompey
           so
           secure
           ,
           that
           he
           laughed
           them
           to
           scorne
           who
           were
           afraid

           and
           such
           as
           said
           that
           if

           came
           to
           Rome
           ,
           they
           knew
           not
           how
           his
           power
           could
           be
           resisted

           comming

           never
           was

           For

           the
           Senate
           ran
           immediatly
           to

           and
           Tullus
           asked
           him
           ,
           what
           power
           he
           had
           in
           readinesse
           to
           resist
           Caesar
           ?
           He
           answered
           (
           but
           something
           faulteringly
           )
           that
           he
           had
           his
           two
           Legions
           that
           came
           from
           Caesar
           ,
           and
           with
           those
           that
           he
           had
           levied
           in
           hast
           ,
           he
           thought
           he
           should
           make
           up
           thirty
           thousand
           fighting
           men

           Then
           Tullus
           cryed
           out
           ,
           
             Ah!
             thou
             hast
             mocked
             us
          
           Pompey
           ;
           and
           thereupon
           ordered
           Ambassadors
           to
           be
           sent
           to
           Caesar.
           
           Phaonius
           also
           ,
           a
           bold
           man
           ,
           said
           ,
           
             Stamp
             now
             with
             thy
             foot
             upon
             the
             ground

           Pompey
           ,
           
             and
             make
             those
             Armies
             come
             which
             thou
             hast
             promised
             .
             Pompey
          
           patiently
           bore
           this
           mock
           .
           Then
           Cato
           thought
           good
           that
           they
           should
           make
           Pompey
           Leiutenant
           Generall
           of
           Rome
           ,
           with
           full
           and
           absolute
           Power
           to
           command
           all
           ,
           saying
           ,
           
             They
             that
             knew
             how
             to
             doe
             the
             greatest
             mischief
             ,
             know
             best
             how
             to
             remedy
             the
             same
             .
          
           And
           so
           immediately
           he
           departed
           to
           his
           Government
           in
           Sicily
           .
           Also
           all
           the
           other
           Senators
           went
           to
           the
           Provinces
           whereunto
           they
           were
           appointed
           .
        
         
           Thus
           all
           Italy
           being
           in
           Armes
           ,
           no
           man
           knew
           what
           was
           best
           to
           be
           done
           :
           For
           such
           as
           were
           out
           of
           Rome

           flying

           of
           all
           parts
           ,
           and
           such
           as
           were
           in
           Rome
           ,
           fled
           out
           as
           fast
           ,
           where
           all
           things
           were
           in
           disorder
           .
           They
           which
           were
           willing
           to

           very
           few
           ,
           
           and
           they
           who
           by
           disobedience
           did
           hurt
           ,
           were
           too
           many
           ,
           neither
           ●would
           they
           suffer
           Pompey
           to
           order
           things
           as
           he
           would
           ,
           because
           every
           one
           followed
           his
           own
           fancy
           ,
           yea
           ,
           in
           one
           day
           they
           were
           in
           diverse
           minds
           .
           All
           this
           while
           Pompey
           could
           hear
           no
           certainty
           of
           his
           enemies
           ,
           the
           reports
           being
           so
           various
           ;
           and
           when
           he
           saw
           the
           tumult
           ,
           and
           confussion
           so
           great
           at
           Rome
           that
           there
           was
           no
           possibility
           
           of
           pacifying
           it
           ,
           
           he
           comanded
           all
           the
           Senators
           to
           follow
           him

           such
           as

           to
           be
           Caesars
           Friends
           .
           The
           two
           Consuls
           fled
           also
           without
           Sacrifizing
           to
           the
           Gods
           ,
           as
           their
           manner
           was
           when
           they

           in

           greatest
           danger
           and
           trouble
           had
           great
           cause
           to
           think
           himself
           happy
           ,
           because

           Shortly
           after
           Pompey
           was
           gone
           out
           of
           the
           City

           Caesar
           came
           into

           who
           spake
           very
           friendly
           to
           all
           whom
           he
           found
           there
           ,
           labouring
           to
           quiet
           their
           fears
           :
           Only
           he
           threatned
           Metellus
           ,
           one
           of
           the
           Tribunes
           ,
           because
           he
           would
           not
           suffer
           him
           to
           take
           any
           of

             That
             it
             was
             not

             hard
             a
             thing

           and
           taken

           he
           prepared
           to
           follow
           Pompey
           ,
           intending
           to
           drive
           him
           out
           of
           Italy
           before
           his
           Army
           should
           come
           to
           him
           ,
           out
           of
           Spain
           .
        
         
           Pompey
           in
           the
           meane
           time
           took
           Brundusium
           ,
           and
           having
           gotten
           some
           Ships
           together
           ,
           he
           caused
           the
           two
           Consuls
           presently
           to
           embark
           ,
           
           with
           thirty
           Companies
           of
           Footmen
           ,
           which
           he
           sent
           before
           to
           Dyrrachium
           .
           He
           sent
           also
           his
           Father
           in
           Law
           Scipio
           ,
           and
           his
           Son
           
             Cneius
             Pompeyus
          
           into
           Syria
           to
           provide
           him
           Ships
           .
           Then
           did
           he
           fortify
           Brundusium
           ,
           and
           guarded
           the
           Walls
           with
           Souldiers
           ,
           commanding
           the
           Citizens
           not
           to
           stir
           out
           of
           their
           Houses
           .
           He
           cast
           up
           Trenches
           also
           within
           the
           City
           at
           the
           end
           of
           all
           the
           streets
           ,
           saving
           those
           two
           which
           led
           to
           the
           Haven
           ,
           and
           filled
           those
           Trenches
           with
           sharp-pointed
           stakes
           ,
           and
           when
           at
           leasure
           he
           had
           imbarked
           all
           the
           rest
           of
           his
           Souldiers
           ,
           he
           by
           a
           signe
           ,
           called
           off
           those
           which
           guarded
           the
           Walls
           ,
           and
           having
           received
           them
           into
           his
           Ships
           ,
           
           he
           hoisted
           Sailes
           and
           departed
           .
        
         
           Caesar
           finding
           the
           Walls
           of
           Brundusium
           unguarded
           ,
           presently
           suspected
           that
           Pompey
           was
           fled
           ,
           and
           rushing
           into
           the
           City
           ,
           he
           had
           certainly
           falne
           into
           the
           pits
           ,
           
           but
           that
           the
           Brundusians
           gave
           him
           warning
           of
           them
           ,
           whereupon
           
           he
           fetched
           a
           compasse
           about
           to
           go
           to
           the
           Haven
           ,
           and
           coming
           thither
           ,
           he
           found
           all
           the
           Ships
           under
           saile
           save
           two
           ,
           wherein
           were
           a
           few
           Souldiers
           .
           Some
           judged
           this
           departure
           of
           Pompeys
           the
           best
           Stratagem
           of
           War
           that
           ever
           he
           used
           :
           But
           Caesar
           marvelled
           that
           being
           in
           so
           strong
           a
           City
           ,
           and
           expecting
           his
           Army
           out
           of
           Spain
           ,
           and
           being
           Master
           of
           the
           Seas
           besides
           ,
           he
           would
           so
           easily
           forsake
           Italy
           .
           Thus
           Caesar
           within
           threescore
           dayes
           became
           Lord
           of
           all
           Italy
           without
           bloudshed
           .
           He
           was
           very
           desirous
           speedily
           to
           have
           followed
           Pompey
           ,
           but
           having
           no
           Ships
           ready
           ,
           he
           was
           forced
           to
           stay
           .
           Then
           did
           he
           hasten
           into
           Spain
           to
           joyn
           Pompey's
           Army
           with
           his
           own
           .
        
         
           Pompey
           in
           the
           mean
           space
           had
           gotten
           a
           marvellous
           great
           power
           together
           both
           by
           Sea
           ,
           
           and
           Land.
           By
           Sea
           he
           had
           five
           hundred
           good
           Ships
           of
           War
           ,
           besides
           multitudes
           of
           Galliots
           ,
           Foists
           ,
           and
           Pinnaces
           .
           By
           Land
           he
           had
           all
           the
           flower
           of
           the
           Horsemen
           of
           Rome
           ,
           and
           of
           all
           Italy
           to
           the
           number
           of
           seven
           thousand
           ,
           Valiant
           men
           ,
           and
           of
           great
           Houses
           :
           But
           his
           Footmen
           were
           raw
           and
           untrained
           Souldiers
           ,
           whom
           Pompey
           continually
           exercised
           at
           the
           City
           of
           Beraea
           ,
           taking
           as
           much
           paines
           therein
           as
           if
           he
           had
           been
           in
           his
           youth
           .
           It
           was
           great
           encouragement
           to
           others
           to
           see
           Pompey
           ,
           being
           fifty
           eight
           years
           old
           ,
           fighting
           on
           foot
           compleatly
           Armed
           ,
           
           and
           then
           speedily
           to
           mount
           on
           Horseback
           ,
           and
           in
           his
           full
           Career
           to
           draw
           ,
           and
           put
           up
           his
           Sword
           ,
           to
           cast
           his
           Dart
           with
           as
           much
           agility
           and
           strength
           ,
           and

           that
           few
           young
           men
           could
           do
           the
           like
           .
        
         
           To
           Pompey
           there
           came
           diverse
           Kings
           ,
           Princes
           ,
           and
           Lords
           of
           great
           Countries
           :

           of
           Roman
           Captains
           ,
           who

           Amongst
           these
           ,
           
           there
           came
           also
           Labienus
           ,
           who
           formerly
           had
           been
           Caesars
           great
           Friend
           ,
           and
           an

           Valiant
           man

           before
           spoken
           unto
           Pompey
           ,
           because
           he
           thought

           Cicero
           himself

           counsel
           for

           ,
           thought
           it
           a
           shame
           not
           to
           be

           of
           their
           Country
           .
           There
           came
           also
           
             Didius
             Sextus
          
           ,
           though
           he
           was
           an
           old

           whom
           when
           Pompey
           saw
           comming

           others
           laughed
           him
           to
           scorn

           yet

           he
           rose
           up

           went
           to
           meet
           him
           ,
           judging
           it
           a
           signe
           of
           much
           love
           when
           such
           old

           chose
           rather

           The

           sitting
           in
           Counsel

           the
           Empire
           of
           Rome

           be
           sackt
           ,
           which
           made
           Pompey's
           part
           liked
           the
           better

           him
           the
           Victory

           Caesar
           also
           shewed
           himself
           very

           he
           passed
           through
           all
           Italy
           ,
           and
           came

           But
           Pompey
           durst
           not
           trust
           to
           these
           fair
           words
           ,
           judging

           He
           therefore

           with
           him

           and
           for
           the
           most
           part

           wherein
           he
           was

           lost
           all
           his
           Army
           .
           For
           Pompey
           had
           valiantly
           repulsed
           all
           his
           men
           ,

           made
           them
           fly

           and
           had
           slaine
           two
           thousand
           of

           in
           the
           field

           but
           he

           with
           them
           into
           their
           Camp
           when
           they
           fled
           :
           which
           made
           Caesar
           say

           his
           Friends

             his
             enemy
             had
             won
             the
             Victory
             that
             day

             .
          
           This
           Victory
           did
           so
           encourage
           Pompeys
           men
           ,
           that
           they

           But
           Pompey

           yet
           was
           he
           not
           willing

           adventure
           all

           Affricanus

           and
           Gaul
           :
           He
           said
           also
           ,
           that
           it
           was
           a
           dishonour
           to
           Pompey
           (
           who
           should
           be
           very
           tender
           of
           his
           credit

           to
           suffer
           their
           Country
           to
           be
           in
           such
           bondage
           ,
           and
           subjection
           to
           slaves
           ,
           and
           base
           flatterers
           of
           a
           Tyrant
           when
           as
           it
           offered

           into
           their
           hands
           .
           But
           Pompey
           thought
           it
           dishonourable
           for
           him
           to
           fly
           from
           Caesar

           to
           make
           him
           follow
           him
           ,
           since
           he
           now
           had
           him
           in
           chase
           ,
           nor
           lawfull
           before
           the
           Gods
           now
           to
           forsake
           his
           Father
           in
           Law
           Scipio

           many
           others
           ,
           who
           had
           been
           Consuls
           ,
           and
           who
           were
           dispersed
           up
           and
           down
           Greece
           ,
           and
           Thessaly

           who
           by
           this
           meanes
           would
           certainly
           fall
           into
           Caesars
           hands
           ,
           together

           and
           Armies

           He
           said
           also
           ,
           that
           they
           had
           care
           enough
           for
           the
           City
           of
           Rome
           by
           drawing
           their
           Armies
           farthest
           from
           it
           ,
           so
           as
           they
           remaining
           safe
           and
           quiet
           at
           home
           ,
           not
           feeling
           the
           miseries
           of
           War
           ,
           might
           joyfully
           welcome
           him
           home
           that
           remained
           Conquerour
           .
        
         
           With
           this
           determination
           he
           followed
           Caesar
           ,
           not
           intending
           to
           give
           him
           Battel
           ,
           but
           to
           besiege
           him
           and
           so
           to
           cut
           him
           short
           of
           Victuals
           :
           But
           whilst
           he
           pursued
           him
           faire
           and
           softly
           ,
           his
           men
           cryed
           out
           of
           him
           ,
           that
           he
           intended
           not
           to
           War
           against
           Caesar

           against
           his
           own
           Country

           that

           Phaonius
           also
           mocked
           him
           ,
           and
           went
           crying
           up

           they
           compelled
           Pompey
           to
           submit
           to
           their
           rash
           and
           giddy
           desires
           ,

           Pompey
           being
           an
           Horseback
           rode
           up
           and
           down
           to
           observe
           how
           both
           Armies
           were
           marshalled
           ,
           and
           perceiving
           that
           his
           enemies
           stood
           still
           in
           their
           ranks
           ,
           expecting
           the
           signall
           of
           Battel
           ,
           and
           that
           his
           own
           Battel
           waved
           up
           and
           down
           disorderly
           ,
           as
           men
           unskillfull
           in
           the
           Wars
           ,
           he
           feared
           that
           they

           charged
           .
           Therefore
           he
           commanded
           his
           Van
           to

           sleadily
           in
           their
           ranks
           ,
           and
           to
           defend
           themselves
           in
           a
           close
           fight
           when
           they
           enemy

           assault
           them

           But
           Caesar
           disliked
           this
           devise
           :
           for
           thereby
           (
           said
           he
           )
           the
           force
           of
           their
           blowes
           was
           lessened
           ,
           and
           by
           with-holding
           them
           from
           giving
           the
           charge
           ,
           that
           courage
           was
           taken
           away
           which
           the
           assailant
           carrieth
           with

           he
           comes
           on
           with
           fury
           ,
           it
           made
           them
           also
           more
           fainthearted
           in
           receiving
           the
           enemies
           charge

           In
           Caesars
           Army
           there
           were
           about
           twenty
           two
           thousand
           fighting
           men

           When
           the
           signal
           of
           Battel
           was
           given
           on
           either
           side

           an
           Alarme
           ,
           every
           man
           began
           to
           look
           to
           himself

           But
           a
           few

           the
           Romans

           and
           some
           Grecians

           into
           the
           Battell
           ,
           perceiving
           the
           imminent
           danger
           ,
           began
           to
           bethink
           themselves
           to
           what

           these
           two
           great
           Persons
           had
           brought
           the

           Rome
           unto
           ,
           where
           were

           against
           kinsmen

           the
           Romane
           Empire
           was
           big
           enough
           for

           Now
           when

           after
           the
           Signall

           and
           this
           he

           him
           that
           morning
           what
           he

           of
           the
           Battel
           ?
           he
           said
           ,
           Oh
           Caesar
           !
           
             Thine

           Thereupon
           he
           brake
           out
           of
           his
           rank

           many

           also
           following
           him

           ran
           into
           the
           midst

           his
           enemies

           making
           a
           g●eat
           slaughter
           ;
           but
           as
           he
           still
           pressed
           forward

           one

           him
           through
           the
           neck

           Pompey

           to

           praying
           him
           to
           come
           and
           refresh
           himself

           But
           Pompey
           refused
           ,
           and
           advised
           them
           to
           obey
           the
           Conquerour
           ;
           for
           (
           said
           he

             Caesar
             is
             of
             a

             and
             Curteous
             nature
             .
          
           Then
           Pompey
           turning
           to
           Cratippus
           the
           Philosopher
           ,
           
           who
           came
           ,
           amongst
           the
           Citizens
           to
           visit
           him
           ,
           made
           his
           complaint
           to
           him
           ,
           and
           reasoned
           a
           little
           with
           him
           about
           Divine
           Providence
           .
           Then
           taking
           his
           Wife
           and
           Friends
           he
           hoised
           saile
           and
           departed
           ,
           staying
           no
           where
           but
           to
           take
           in
           fresh
           provision

           water

           The
           first
           City
           that
           he
           touched
           at
           ,
           was
           Atallia
           in
           the
           Country
           of
           Pamphylia
           .
           Thither
           came
           to
           him
           some
           Gallies
           out
           of
           Cilicia
           ,
           and
           many
           of
           his
           Friends
           and
           Souldiers
           ,
           insomuch
           as
           he
           had
           now
           sixty
           Senators
           in
           his
           Company
           .
           Then
           understanding
           that
           his
           Army
           by
           Sea
           was
           yet
           whole
           ,
           and
           that
           Cato
           had
           gathered
           together
           a
           great
           number
           of
           his
           Souldiers
           after
           the
           overthrow
           ,
           whom
           he
           had
           transported
           with
           him
           into
           Africk
           ,
           he
           complained
           to
           his
           Friends
           for
           that
           they
           had
           compelled
           him
           to
           fight
           by
           Land
           ,
           and
           not
           suffered
           him
           to
           make
           use
           of
           his
           Fleet
           ,
           wherein
           he
           was
           the
           stronger
           ,
           and
           that
           he
           kept
           not
           his
           Army
           neere
           to
           the
           Sea
           ,
           that
           in
           case
           he
           miscarried
           at
           Land
           ,
           he
           might
           presently
           have
           repaired
           to
           his
           Fleet
           at
           Sea
           ,
           and
           thereby
           have
           resisted
           his
           enemy
           .
        
         
           Thus
           Pompey
           being
           driven
           to
           atempt
           somewhat
           according
           to
           his
           small
           ability
           ,
           to
           some
           Cities
           he
           sent
           Ambassadors
           ,
           to
           others
           he
           went
           himself
           to
           gather
           money
           ,
           wherewith
           he
           armed
           and
           manned
           some
           Ships
           .
           But
           fearing
           the
           sudden
           approach
           of
           his
           enemie
           ,
           before
           he
           could
           be
           in
           readiness
           to
           resist
           him
           ,
           he
           bethought
           himself
           to
           what
           place
           he
           might
           retire
           for
           his
           better
           safety
           ,
           and
           resolved
           that
           there
           was
           never
           a
           Province
           of
           the
           Romans
           that
           was
           able
           to
           secure
           him
           ,
           and
           for
           other
           strange
           Nations
           ,
           he
           thought
           none
           safer
           for
           him
           to
           retire
           into
           than
           Parthia
           ,
           which
           was
           able
           to
           aid
           and
           help
           him
           .
           Some
           
           advised
           him
           to
           go
           into
           Africk
           unto
           King
           Juba
           .
           But
           Theophanes
           the
           Lesbian
           said
           ,
           that
           it
           was
           great
           ●olly
           to
           decline
           Egypt
           that
           was
           but
           three
           days
           sail
           from
           thence
           ,
           and
           where
           Ptolemey
           was
           ,
           who
           was
           lately
           come
           to
           mans
           estate
           ,
           and
           was
           infinitely
           bound
           to
           Pompey
           for
           the
           late
           favours
           which
           he
           shewed
           to
           his
           Father
           ,
           and
           not
           put
           himself
           into
           the
           hands
           of
           the
           Parthians
           ,
           the
           most
           unfaithfull
           Nation
           in
           the
           world
           .
           He
           thought
           it
           also
           an
           ill
           part
           for
           him
           to
           carry
           his
           young
           Wife
           of
           the
           Noble
           Family
           of
           Scipio
           .
           amongst
           such
           barbarous
           People
           ,
           who
           care
           not
           how
           basely
           they
           abuse
           any
           strangers
           .
           
           This
           Speech
           altered
           Pompey's
           mind
           ,
           and
           made
           him
           resolve
           to
           flie
           into
           Egypt

           and
           so
           with
           his
           wife
           Cornelia
           ,
           he
           departed
           from
           Cyprus
           in
           a
           Galley
           of

           Pompey
           observing
           these
           things
           ,
           took
           a
           little
           Book
           into
           his
           hand
           ,
           wherein
           he
           had
           written
           an
           Oration
           that
           he
           ment
           to
           make
           to
           King
           Ptolomy
           ,
           and
           began
           to
           read
           it
           .
           As
           they
           approached
           to
           the
           shore
           ,
           Cornelia

           with

           Friends
           about
           her
           ,
           stood
           up
           in
           great
           fear
           ,
           to
           see
           what
           would
           become
           of
           Pompey
           ,
           and
           she
           hoped
           well
           when
           she
           saw
           many
           of
           the
           Kings
           People
           on
           the
           shore
           ,
           comming
           towards
           Pompey
           ,
           as
           it
           were
           to
           receive
           ,

           honour
           him
           at
           his
           landing
           .
           But
           even
           as
           Pompey
           took
           Philip
           by
           the
           hand
           to
           rise
           more
           easily
           ,
           Septimius
           came
           behind
           him
           ,
           and
           thrust
           him
           through
           with
           his
           Sword
           :
           Salvius
           ,
           and
           Achillas
           also
           made
           at
           him
           with
           their
           Swords
           .
           Pompey
           did
           no
           more
           but
           took
           up
           his
           gown
           ,
           with
           which
           he
           covered
           his
           face
           ,
           and
           took
           the
           wounds
           in
           a
           manly
           manner
           ,
           only
           sighing
           a
           little
           .
           
           Thus
           ended
           he
           his
           Life
           the
           very
           next
           day
           after
           his
           Birth
           ,
           being
           fifty
           nine
           years
           old
           ,
        
         
           They
           which
           rode
           at
           Anchor
           in
           their
           Ships
           ,
           when
           they
           saw
           him
           thus
           murthered
           ,
           gave
           such
           a
           fearfull
           cry
           that
           it
           was
           heard
           to
           the
           shore
           :
           And
           weighing
           their
           Anchors
           with
           speed
           ,
           they
           hoised
           Sail
           and
           departed
           ,
           having
           a
           lusty
           gale
           of
           Wind
           to
           help
           them
           .
           The
           Aegyptians
           
           had
           thought
           to
           pursue
           them
           ,
           but
           when
           they
           ,
           saw
           they
           were
           past
           their
           reach

           they
           let
           them
           go
           .
           Then
           striking
           off
           Pompeys
           Head
           they
           threw
           his
           Body
           overboard
           ,
           where
           it
           was
           a
           miserable
           spectacle
           to
           all
           that
           desired
           to

           infranchesed
           Bondman
           ,
           stirred
           not
           from
           it
           till
           the

           glutted
           themselves
           with
           looking
           upon

           .
           Then
           having
           washed

           with
           Salt
           water
           ,
           and
           wrapped
           it
           up
           in
           an

           ,
           and
           at

             long

             I
             have
             endured
             much
             misery

           The
           next
           day
           
             Lucius
             Lentulus
          
           ,
           not
           knowing
           what
           had
           happened
           ,
           comming
           out
           of
           Cyprus
           ,
           sailed
           by
           the
           shore
           side
           ,
           and
           perceiving
           a
           Funeral
           fire
           ,
           and
           Philip
           standing
           by
           it
           ,
           he
           asked
           him
           whose
           Funerall
           it
           was
           ?
           But
           straight
           fetching
           a
           great
           sigh
           ,
           alas
           (
           said
           he
           )
           perhaps
           it
           is
           Pompeys
           the
           Great
           .
           Then
           he
           landed
           a
           little
           ,
           and
           was
           presently
           slaine
           .
           This
           was
           the
           deplorable
           end
           of
           Pompey
           the
           Great

           long
           after
           came
           into
           Aegypt
           ,
           where
           there
           were
           great
           Wars
           ,
           at
           which
           time
           Pompeys
           Head
           was
           presented
           to
           him
           ,
           but
           he
           turned
           aside
           and
           would
           not
           see
           it
           ,
           abhorring
           him
           that
           brought
           it
           as
           a
           detestable
           murtherer
           .
           
           Then

           on

           on
           was

           holding
           a
           Sword
           ,
           he
