Constantine at first espoused the Ar∣rian Interest, to mount the Throne, as the present Lewis the XIV. did the Interest of the Hugonots.
ANSWER.
What ground or Authority our Immortal Deist might have for this His Assertion, I do not know; I believe it is a Dream of His own. I am con∣fident no Chronologer of any repute could affirm so great a Falsity, nothing is more notorious, both in Ancient and Modern History, than that Constantine mounted the Throne, before Arius himself; much less the Arians made any consi∣derable figure in the World. Perhaps the odium He thought might reflect on Constantine, by the Comparison of Lewis the XIV. prompted Him to commit so palpable an Error. Had there been any truth in this Imputation, it cannot be ima∣gined, that the Arian Historian Philosorgius would have past it in silence; who only says, That when Constantius was dead and buried, that Constan∣tine 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Connstantine was His Successor in the Empire.
