drawne Pentadius: unto whose charge it was layed, That being sent from Constan∣tius, he wrote by way of cyphring, What answers upon many interrogatories Gal∣lus made, when his death was at hand: But when he defended himselfe rightfully, he departed without harme of his person. By the like unjust proceeding was Flo∣rentius the sonne of Nigrinianus, Master of the offices for the time being, thrust up into Boas, an Isle of Dalmatia. For the other Florentius, who had beene Praefectus Praetorio, and was then Consull also, being skared with the suddaine change of the State, having together with his wife escaped the dangers, lay close a long time, and could not returne before the death of Iulian; howbeit, in his absence condemned he was to die. In like sort, E••agrius, Comes d rei privatae, and Saturninus, late great Master, or Seneschall of the palace, as also Cyrinus, who had beene a Notarie, were transported over into exile. But for the death of Vrsulus, who was Comes Largitio∣num, Iustice her selfe seemeth unto me to have wept, blaming the Emperour for an unthankfull person. For, when as being Caesar, he was sent into the West parts, there to be kept short, and put to all sparing of expences, and had no power graunted, to give aught by way of donative unto the souldiors, to the end, that being thus strait laced, he mightlye open to the mutinies of the armie, this selfesame Vrsulus sending his letters unto him, who had the keeping of the treasure in Gaule commaunded, That whatsoever Caesar called for, it should be given unto him without faile. When Vrsulus was put to death, Iulian perceiving himselfe exposed to the rayling words and curses of many, and supposing this foule fact which could not bee purged, might yet bee excused, avouched, That the man was killed without his privitie, pretending, That in an angrie mood of the souldiors he was made away; as who remembred well those words, as I have alreadie related, which he had let fall, when he saw Amida rased. And therefore he seemed timorous, or not well advised, when he made Arbetio, a man alwayes suspected, and exceeding prowd, a speciall Com∣missioner and Iudge to heare and determine these causes, having others together with the Principia of the Legions for shew onely present with him: one (I say) whom above all he knew to be opposit and set against his life and safetie, as became him who should be partner in civile victories. And albeit those particulars which I have reported, were displeasant to his well-willers and favourers, yet these exam∣ples that follow were executed with due vigour of justice and severitie. For Apo∣demius, lately a Pursivant or Intelligencer, who (as I have shewed) was very hot and sharpe-set to worke the death of Gallus and Sylvanus and Paulus that Notarie, sur∣named Catena, a man not to be mentioned but with the griefe and groning of ma∣ny, were burnt quicke, and perished by that end which was to be hoped for. Beside these, Eusebius, who had beene chiefe Chamberlaine to Constantius, a man of high spirit, and cruell withall, was adjudged to suffer death: Eusebius (I say) who being lifted up from a most low degree to so high a place well neere, as to commaund the Emperour, and therefore intollerable, e Adrastia, that beholdeth mens doings, pluc∣king him first by the eare (as they say) and admonishing him to live more reformed, when he strived againe and made resistance, threw headlong down as it were from a certaine high and steepe rocke.
