CHAP. LII. How many sorts of Tortures and Punishments were made use of against the Christians.

THen you might, [I say] you might have beheld, with how great a freedom [and Licence] the * 1.1 venerable worshippers of God daily underwent the severest of Contumelies, [cau∣sed] by a continuedness of Cruelty. For, that modesty, which even none of the Enemies ever affected with any injury, a 1.2 was made the easie sport and pastime of the contumely of their own enraged Fellow-Citizens. What fire, what man∣ner of Torments, what sort of Tortures was not made use of upon every body, and without distin∣ction [applied] b 1.3 to persons of all ages what∣ever? Doubtless, at that time the Earth wept; the Heavens, within whose circumference all things are contained, being defiled with Bloud, lamented. Also, the very [light of the] day it self was clouded by the sorrow and horrour of that prodigy.

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. So above, at book 1. chap. 27, Eusebius speaking of Severus Caesar, says 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 became a cheap and easie sacrifice of death; where see what we have noted concer∣ning that expression. For the Translatours perceived nothing here. Vales. In the Greek Text of Valesius's Edition, the term 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 is left out; but it occurs in Robert Ste∣phens.

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. In the Fuketian Copy the reading is 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. A little after, in the same Copy, and in the Kings Sheets 'tis written, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. Vales. The reading in Robert Stephens is the same also.
