" Since these philosophers think it necessary to prove the law of inertia, they of course do not suppose it to be self-evident; they must therefore be of opinion that previously to all proof the sup- position of a body's moving by internal impulse is an admissible hypothesis : but if so, why is not the hypothesis also admissible that the internal, impulse acts naturally in some particular direction, not in another?"

Far more comfort it were for us,(so small is the joy we take in these strifes) to labour under the same yoke, as men that look for the same eternal reward of their labours, to be joined with you in bands of indissoluble love and amity, to
• live as if our persons being many our souls were but one, rather than in such dismembered sort to spend our few and wretched days in a tedious prosecuting of wearisome contentions: the end whereof", if they have not some speedy end, will lie heavy even on both sides
But our trust is, that with us contentions are now at their highest float, and that the day will come (for what cause of despair is there ?)• when the passions of former enmity being allayed, we shall with ten thousand times redoubled tokens of our unfeignedly reconciled love, shew ourselves each toward other the same which Joseph and the brethren of Joseph were at the time of their , interview in Egypt.

1. Translate into Latin Prose in the style of Tacitus—
The emperor then inspected the field of battle:
' and never was there any that exhibited a more frightful spectacle. Every thing concurred to increase the horrors of i t ; a lowering sky, a cold rain, a violent wind, habitations in ashes, a plain absolutely torn up and covered with fragments , and ruins; all round the horizon the dark and
funereal verdure of.the north; soldiers roaming in every part among the bodies of the slain;
wounds of a most hideous description ; noiseless bivouacs; no songs of triumph, no lively narra- tions, but a general and mournful silence.
Around the eagles were the officers, and a few soldiers barely- sufficient to guard the' colours.
Their clothes were torn by the violence of the conflict, and stained with blood; yet, notwith- standing all their rags, misery, and destitution, they displayed a lofty carriage, and even, on the appearance of the emperor, received him with acclamations of triumph : these, however, seemed somewhat rare and forced; for in this army, which was at once capable of discrimination and enthusiasm, each individual could form a correct, estimate of the position of the whole.
The soldiers were amazed to find so many of their enemies killed, such vast numbers wounded, and nevertheless so few prisoners. The latter did not amount in all 'to eight .hundred. I t was by the number of these that they estimated their

success. The slain proved the courage of the conquered rather than the victory. If the rest retired in good order, under .little discourage- ment, and even with a firm and warlike attitude, what was the advantage of gaining a mere field of battle ? In a country of such immense extent there was ground enough to furnish these in end- less succession.
