s reflect with pleaar Papini, on the inich I had with you in through Forli, and the Counsel which you was pleafo give me on that occafion. ne freedom and candour with which you talked to me, will not permit me to doubt the fincerity of the fentiments expreffed in your letter to me of the firft of December, and of all the happy paffages therein announced. Thefe fentiments you avowed to me at a time when you took me for a private man, and had no fufpicion of that train of lofty dignity to which it has pleased the divine Providence to raise me. The encomiums lavished on us, and all the things faid to us, are unhappily addreffed much more to our rank than to our perfon. Preferve for me this affection, my dear Papini; and be perfuaded, that I fhall be forely grieved if you do not, in me, ef teem the man! a title fuperior to all others that can be given me! and that Jofeph prefers being beloved to all thofe outward proteftations, and all thofe homages,

which are continually beftowed on the Emperor. Believe then, that the fare fentiments will ever animate me. I pray God to keep you in his holy protection.
