CHAP. XVII. His praying in the Palace, and his reading of the Divine Scriptures.
BUt whosoever has a mind to give attention, will perceive far nobler [instances of his piety] than these; how he constituted a 1.1 a Church of God as 'twere, within the Imperial Palace; and with diligence and chearfulness lead the way himself, to those who assembled within that Church. Moreover, he took the Bible into his hands, and with an attentive mind meditated up∣on those divinely-inspired Oracles. After which he recited the * 1.2 usual prayers, to∣gether with b 1.3 the whole assemblie of his Courtiers.
Notes
a 1.1
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. Sozomen (book 1. chap. 8.) has these words 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, and he erected an Oratory within the Imperial Palace. 'Tis plain that Sozomen (as he usually does,) borrowed this out of our Eusebius. But Eusebius does not say, that Constantine built a Church in the Palace. He says only this, that he constituted a kind of a Church in the Palace. See Eusebius's Panegyrick on Constantine's Tricen∣nalia. chap. 9; where he does plainly confirm our Opinion. Vales.
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, with those that filled the Im∣perial Palace, or, the Church.〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 is an ambiguous expression, which signifies a Church, and a Palace. And Eusebius seems designedly to have play'd with the ambiguity of this phrase, because Constantine's Palace was like a Church. And those whom at this place he calls 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, he has termed above in this chapter, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. Vales.
