Gratian.

Gratian, the brother of Ʋalentinian, was then created Emperor; He,* 1.1 to the intent he might the better repair the decayed state of the Empire, made Theodosius a Copartner with him in it.

The year 369 being the second year of Ʋalentinian the Emperor,* 1.2 was St. Jerome made Cardinal, and the next year after was St. Ambrose made Archbishop of Millain, and in the year aforesaid the vnerable Beda in his little book recordeth, that there was a great universal Earthquake throughout the whole World: And the next year, as other hi∣storians write, it reigned Wool, and there withall it hailed, which hail-stones were of wonderous greatnesse, and flew great numbers of the men and beasts at Constantinople,* 1.3 and the next year after the City of Nice was utterly thrown down and ruinated by an Earth-quake, and this year died S. Hillary Bishop of Poytiers so oft-spoken of before.

This Gratian succeeding Ʋalentinian, elected Ʋalentinian the second his brother, and Theodosius the Son of another Theodosius, to be his associates in Government.
