CHAP. LI. That He likewise gave order for the building of a Church in [the place called] Mamre.
THese were the most eminent Structures, which the Emperour dedicated to God. But, having been informed, that that one and the same Saviour, who had lately made his appearance in the world, had heretofore exhibited the pre∣sence of His Divinity, to certain men of Pa∣lestine that were lovers of God, near that called the Oak of Mamre; He ordered an Oratory to be erected there also, to the God who had appea∣red. Therefore, the * 1.1 Emperour's order was issu∣ed out to the Governours of Provinces, by the Letters transmitted to each of them, commanding them to bring to effect what they had been en∣joyned to perform. But to us who write this History, he sent an a 1.2 Exhortation full of wise∣dome. A Copy whereof I judge fit to be in∣serted into this present work, to the end that the care and diligence of this most pious Empe∣rour might be accurately known. Having bla∣med us therefore for those things, which, as he had been informed, were done in the forementioned place, he wrote word for word thus.

So also Euse∣bius has before termed Constan∣tine's Let∣ters, because in those Letters Constantine seemed in a manner to Preach. Such is Constantine's Speech to the Convention of the Saints, and almost all his Letters, which are recorded partly by Eusebius, and partly by others. For in all these, Constantine, although as yet but a Catecbumen, plays the Doctour. Indeed▪ it can't be denyed, but Con∣stantine was a man full of God, and was sent by God in order to the propagation of the Christian Faith; to which single person, next to the Apostles, we owe very much. Yet in Ecclesiastick affaires, he took something more upon himself, than might befit a Prince that was a Laick; the Bishops permitting him all things, and re∣joycing greatly with themselves, because they saw an Emperour a Christian.
