Letter 5047: I should not be a braggart about my devotion to you -- our mutual obligations spring from a genuine sense of duty...
Ostentator mei in te studii esse non debeo; officia quippe ex debito religionis

futumm, postquam cognoverit suorum relatu, quid negotio eius cura nostra contulerit.
LXV (LXni) a. 397—398.
