CHAP. XXXIII. Concerning the Confessours who have been employed in the Militia.
FUrther, to those who have heretofore been* 1.1adorneda 1.2with Military dignities, and have lost them upon this cruel and unjust pretence, to wit, because professing the knowledge of God,b 1.3they preferred that before the dignity they were possest of; it shall be* 1.4free to choose, whether they will embrace their Mili∣tary Employes, and continue in the same figure they were in;c 1.5or live in freedome with an honourable discharge. For it will be fit and agreeable to reason, that he who hath demonstra∣ted such a greatness of mind and Constancy in undergoing† 1.6torments inflicted on him, should, according to his own choice, enjoy either Repose, or Honour.
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. The Medi∣caean Copy has it 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, &c; in Milita∣ry digni∣ties: and a little af∣ter, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, upon this cruell, &c. Vales.
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. In the Medicaean Copy the reading is, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, they accounted that more valuable then the dignity they had; let it be according to their will. Vales.
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. From the Medicaean Copy it must be written 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, leade a free Leisure. Which reading Sozomen confirms book 1. chap. 8. where he has epitomized this Law of Con∣stantine. In the Fuketian Manuscript I found it written 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, live in freedome honourably. But the Medicaean Copy has it written, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, lead an honour∣able free Leisure. Vales.
