2 As soon therefore as you begin to come, we shall presently see each other. I wish you all prosperity.
CHAPTER V.
ANNAEUS SENECA to PAUL Greeting.
WE are very much concerned at your too long absence from us.
2 What is it, or what affairs are they, which obstructs your coming?
3 If you fear the anger of Caesar because you have abandoned your former religion, and made proselytes also of others, you have this to plead, that your acting thus proceeded not from inconstancy, but judgment. Farewell.
CHAPTER VI.
PAUL to SENECA and LUCILIUS
Greeting.
CONCERNING those things, about which ye wrote to me, it is not proper for me to mention anything in writing with pen and ink: the one of which leaves marks, and the other evidently declares things.
2 Especially since I know that there are near you, as well as me, those who will understand my meaning.
