The yeare of Christ, CC. xxv.
ALexander Seuerus the .xxij. Emperoure:* 1.1 his mother was called Mammea. He raigned xi••••. yeares. He was made Emperoure beyng no more than twelue yeare old, ordeined by the soul¦diours, and that dyd the Senate alowe. He is greately praysed for hys diligence and God∣lynesse.* 1.2 In all thinges vsed he the counsell of Vl∣pianus the lawier only, nether spake he wyth anye man alone, saue wyth the same. But the souldi∣ours toke that in euyll worth, and specially because that by thys mans counsel, they were kepte more straytely in their duety by the Emperoure.
descriptionPage [unnumbered]
And whan for thys cause vpon a tyme the souldy∣ours rushynge vpon hym threatened to slaye hym, the Emperoure stept forth, and set his bodye in the daungers of Vlpianus, and couered hym wyth his cloake: that the souldiours myghte vnderstande, that the Emperour cared for Vlpianus health.
Thys was a notable example of Emperyall ver∣tue,* 1.3 whereby is euidentlye declared, that greate men ought not to regarde theyr lyfe and body for the mayntenaunce of iustice and ryhteousnesse.
Vrbanus the fyrst of that name, the .xvij. bishop of Rome succeded Calistus.
