The Heathen were glad of the Christians Success: The Emperor favoured them much.

THE Heathen being delivered and rid of the former Mischiefs, confessed diversly, That the Only True God was the Defender of the godly Christians: But unto us there was an un∣speakable Joy (saith Eusebius) which with in∣cessant Hope did depend upon Christ the A∣nointed of God: Moreover, the most Puissant, i. e. Mighty, Emperors by their often Consti∣tutions, i. e. Appointments, published in the be∣half of the Christians, have amplified and en∣larged the things granted to us by the free Bountifulness of God. Unto the Bishops also there came favourable Letters from the Emperor; Dignities were bestowed, Summs of Money and Presents were sent them.
