ABSTRACT
Julius Cesar providence of god, disloyalte or treason seldome escapeth great vengeaunce, all be it that it be pretended for a necessary purpose. Example we have of Brutus and Cassius, two noble Romaynes, and men of excellent vertues, whiche, pretendinge an honorable zeale to the libertie and commune weale of their citie, slewe Julius Cesar (who trusted them moste of all other) for that he usurped to have the perpetuall dominion of the empire, supposinge thereby to have brought the senate and people to their pristinate libertie. But it dyd nat so succede to their purpose. But by the dethe of so noble a prince hapned confusion and civile batayles. And bothe Brutus and Cassius, after longe warres vanquisshed by Octavian, nevewe and hiere unto Cesar, at the last falling in to extreme desperation, slewe them selfes. A worthy and convenient vengeaunce for the murder of so noble and valyaunt a prince.
