CHAP. LXIII. In what manner he praised God, after he had received Baptism.
AFter this he lifted up his voice, and poured forth to God a prayer of thanksgiving. Which ended, he added these words. Now I know my self to be truly blessed:a 1.1now 'tis evident that I am accounted worthy of an im∣mortal life: now I have an assurance that I am made a partaker of Di∣vine Light. Moreover, he termed them miserable, and said they were unhappy, who were deprived of such great * 1.2 Blessings. And when the Tribunes and Chief Offi∣cers of the Military Forces came in, and with tears be∣wailed [their own misfor∣tune,] that they themselves should be left desolate; and prayed for his longer Life: He answered them also, and said, that now at length he was vouchsafed true life, and that only He himself knew, what great Bles∣sings he had been made a partaker of.

And to those Romans who inhabit the Imperial City, he bequeathed certain Annual Gifts. But he left the inheritance of the Em∣pire, as 'twere some paternal Estate, to his own children; ordering all things in such a manner, as he himself thought good.
