CHAP. XLVI. That He afterwards recited his Description of our Saviour's Martyrium, and his Oration up∣on Constantine's Tricennalia, before the Em∣perour Himself.
BUt, what the Form of our Saviour's Church is, what the fashion is of the Salutary Cave, * 1.1 how great the Beauty and Elegancy of the Structure, and [Lastly] how a 1.2 many the Donaria, made partly of Gold and Silver, and partly of pretious Stones; we have, as well as we could, comprized in a peculiar Treatise, and have dedicated it to the Emperour Himself. Which Book we shall make a seasonable pub∣lication of b 1.3 at the close of this present Work: whereto we will annex that Oration concerning his Tricennalia, which, having not long after made a journey to Constantinople, we recited in the Em∣perours own hearing. This was the c 1.4 second time that we celebrated the praises of God the supream King, within the Imperial Palace. Which [Oration] the Emperour, who was beloved by God, being an auditor of, seemed like one transported with joy. And this he him∣self manifested after the Speech was done, in re∣gard he entertained those Bishops that were pre∣sent at a Banquet, and bestowed on them all ima∣ginable honour.
Notes
* 1.1
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, and how great the Empe∣rours at∣tempts of Elegancy.
Amongst the other Donaria [Sacred Gifts,] which Con∣stantine gave to the Jerusalem Church, there was a Sacerdo∣tal pall woven with threads of gold, which the Bishop made use of in his performing the solemn prayers, as Theodoret relates, Eccles. Hist. book 2. chap. 27. Vales.
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, after this present Subject. That is, at the close of this work. The Translatour rendred it ill; Quod etiam cum videbitur & absoluto opere edemus. But our Rendition is confirmed by Eusebius himself in chap. 32. of this book. Vales.
