Conquering Caesar came even into this Country whereinto victorious Gustavus is come: and with such celerity subdued one principality after another, as the Orator is bold to say that he passed over places by victories more speedily 1then another could have done by paces. This is indeed an hyperbolical speech: but yet thereby exceeding great celerity is set out: which also is implied by another hyperbolical phrase used by Caesar himself in a letter to his friend, in these three words, Veni, Vidi, Vici, I came, I saw, I overcame: meaning thereby that so soon as he came to a place, and took a view of it, he forthwith took it.
