But an if I find the printing press at Venice, I trow I shall not go unto Rome, for man may not vie with iron. "Imprimit una dies quantum non scribitur anno. And, dearest, something tells me you and I shall end our days at Augsburg, whence going, I shall leave it all I can my blessing. "January 12.
