CHAP. XXXIII. Concerning the adulteries committed by Maxen∣tius at Rome.
FOr he who by Tyranny had possest himself of the Imperial City, was arrived at that height of impiety and wickedness, that no audacious fact, no filthy and impure practises were omitted by him. a 1.1 For he parted the Wives, from their Husbands, to whom they had been legally married; and having debauch't them, in a most dishonourable manner sent them back to their Husbands. Nor did he in this wise insult over and abuse obscure persons, and those of mean quality, but even such as filled the emi∣nentest places in the Roman Senate. But al∣though he vitiated almost infinite numbers of free women in a most shamefull manner, yet could he in no wise satiate the immoderate and intemperate [Lust of] his own mind. But, after he began [to sollicite] Christian wo∣men, b 1.2 He could by no arts of his own bring it about, [that he might enjoy their Embraces.] For they chose sooner to expose their lives c 1.3 to death, than suffer their Bodies to be vi∣tiated by him.
Notes
a 1.1
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. The place is imper∣fect, as 'tis evident; with Chri∣stophorson we have perfected it from the fourteenth chapter of the eighth Book of his Eccles. Hi∣story. In the Kings Sheets, this place is supplied at the margin in this manner; 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, &c. In the Fuke∣tian Manuscript 'tis written thus, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, &c. Moreover, having parted Wives from their Husbands, be sent them back to their Husbands. Vales.
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. The first word must be expunged. But the following words are maimed and corrupted, which 'tis hard to make good without the assistance of the Manuscript Copies. Yet it may be read in this manner, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, he was unable to find out a saticty or satis∣faction for his own Lusts. A little after this, the reading in the Fuketian and Sr Henry Savils Copy is, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, &c. For they chose sooner, &c. Vales.
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. It must, as I think, be written 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, to death. For so our Eusebius expresses himself in book 8, chap. 14; where he treats concerning the wickednesses of Maximinus;〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, others, haled away to be ravished, were more ready to part with their lives, than yield up their bodies to be defiled. Vales.
