"You know well,--my cousin," said he "the just and frequent causes of offence which this people has given me.

The insults which I, this morning experienced cut me so deeply to the heart that they are the only reasons of the misfortune which has happened today.

Nevertheless, to those who desire my friendship I shall show equal friendship and affection.

Herein I shall follow the counsel you have uniformly given me, since I know it comes from one who has always loved me.

Therefore I beg that you will kindly bring it to pass, that I may obtain some decision, and that no injury may be inflicted upon my people.
