AURELIUS,

Marcus Aucelius, the Roman Emperor, who was adopted by Anto∣ninus. His Medals represent him with a grave and modest Countenance, which the Philosophers affected. He imitated them with their long Beard, and was surnamed the Philosopher, to honour him for the Incli∣nation which he had for their Learning and way of living. The title of the Speech of Athenagoras who was sent to this Prince to make an Apology for the Christian Religion, is in these Terms. TO THE EMPE∣RORS MARCUS AURELIUS ANTONINUS, AND LUCIUS AURELIUS COMMODUS, ARMENIANS, SARMATIANS, AND WHICH IS MORE, PHI∣LOSOPHERS. And the beginning of the Life of Marcus Anrelius written by Capitolinus is in these Terms. MARCO ANTONINO IN OMNI VITA PHILOSO∣PHANTI VIRO. He also often re∣peats this Sentence of Plato. That those S••ates are most flourishing where Philosophers ru∣led, or where the Rulers studied Philosophy. He was a meek Prince, a Wise, Prudent, Sober, Liberal, and great Captain. He was sickly through his Application to Study.
