By Extract a Plebeian; but ennobled by the Office his Family had sustain'd. His Education had form'd him the most active Zeal for the legal Constitution of his Country, which he afterwards publicly exerted with great Applause under the Direction of Cicero, against the Insolence and Usurpations of the first Triumvirale. This Character he maintain'd even after the pernicious Designs of Julius Caeser began to appear. But at last, unhappily for himself and his Country, the Difficulties into which his ungovernable Passions had plung'd him, gave that artful Man an Opportunity of seducing him to betray the Cause of Liberty at its very Crisis. So that he is justly charg'd by the Roman Historians, as the chief Incendiary of Caeser's Ambition, and Author of all the public Ruin that ensued.
