CALLED ALSO THE FOURTEENTH PHILIPPIC. * * * * * THE ARGUMENT. After the last speech was delivered, Brutus gained great advantages inMacedonia over Caius Antonius, and took him prisoner. He treated himwith great lenity, so much so as to displease Cicero, who remonstratedwith him strongly on his design of setting him at liberty. He was alsounder some apprehension as to the steadiness of Plancus's loyalty tothe senate; but on his writing to that body to assure them of hisobedience, Cicero proc...ured a vote of some extraordinary honours tohim. Cassius also about the same time was very successful in Syria, ofwhich he wrote Cicero a full account. Meantime reports were beingspread in the city by the partizans of Antonius, of his success beforeMutina; and even of his having gained over the consuls. Cicero too waspersonally much annoyed at a report which they spread of his havingformed the design of making himself master of the city and assumingthe title of Dictator; but when Apuleius, one of his friends, and atribune of the people, proceeded to make a speech to the people inCicero's justification, the people all cried out that he had neverdone anything which was not for the advantage of the republic.
