The historian, who certainly was not amicable to Cicero, takes no notice of this fourth oration, but tells us that Cato, in answer to Caesar, declared for immediate execu- tion, and thereupon the senate decreed accordingly. It must, however, be presumed, that Cicero's speech had great weight in the decision. It proceeds on two propositions : 1. That sentence of death, according to the opinion of Decius Silanus, was suited to the exigence of the times,... and worthy of a Roman senate.
2. That, though the immediate execution of the malefactors would draw on himself a train of evil con- sequences, he was determined to encounter every danger in the service of bis country.
