Cōstantius holding himselfe content with the dignitie of Augustus, refused to su∣staine the trouble whiche he shoulde haue endured through the administration of the affaires of Italie and Affricke: hée sought by all meanes howe he mighte enriche the people of the Empire. He abolished the superstition of the Gentiles in his dominions, so that afterwarde Brytaine felt no persecuti∣ons. The yeare following he passed out of Fraunce hyther a∣gainst the Pictes, at whiche time his sonne Constantine, who then serued Galerius, perceyuing his destructien to be com∣passed, posted to his Father in al haste, howghing & killing the post horsses, whych way so euer he passed, that he mighte not be pursued, and came to his Father the verye houre that he wente aboorde to come into Brytaine: but Constantius as* 1.2 soone as he came to Yorke, sodainely sickned, and perceyuing his daye to drawe neare, when he was asked to whome hée woulde leaue the Empire, aunswered, to Constantine, and shortly after departed.
