christ._n if_o mr._n i._o be_v immovable_o resolve_v as_o to_o julian_n that_o he_o will_v not_o abate_v one_o syllable_n in_o the_o whole_a book_n yet_o i_o hope_v he_o will_v take_v more_o modest_a

signify_v nothing_o but_o the_o case_n of_o valentinian_n be_v a_o great_a argument_n that_o the_o empire_n be_v hereditary_a than_o the_o set_n aside_o of_o ten_o at_o that_o age_n be_v to_o prove_v the_o contrary_n i_o will_v know_v for_o what_o reason_n beside_o mr._n i_n will_n and_o pleasure_n the_o make_v edgar_n atheling_n case_n parallel_n be_v mere_a amusement_n for_o beside_o that_o his_o father_n before_o he_o be_v exclude_v by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o dane_n and_o himself_o by_o the_o friend_n of_o harold_n and_o after_o by_o the_o conquest_n of_o william_n the_o great_a friend_n to_o the_o succession_n will_v not_o undertake_v for_o a_o strict_a hereditary_a descent_n of_o the_o crown_n in_o the_o saxon_a time_n but_o the_o reason_n why_o varronian_n be_v pass_v by_o and_o valentinian_n the_o young_a in_o the_o like_a nonage_n be_v make_v emperor_n be_v very_o obvious_a jovian_a reign_v not_o long_a enough_o to_o oblige_v the_o great_a man_n in_o the_o senate_n and_o army_n he_o be_v force_v to_o make_v a_o peace_n upon_o such_o term_n as_o he_o can_v get_v with_o the_o persian_n and_o his_o short_a rule_n give_v he_o neither_o time_n nor_o opportunity_n by_o any_o glorious_a achievement_n to_o recover_v his_o credit_n and_o endear_v himself_o to_o the_o army_n and_o people_n whereas_o valentinian_n reign_v glorious_o twelve_o year_n and_o be_v very_o

of_o the_o valentinian_n house_n will_v otherwise_o have_v be_v usurp_v upon_o for_o valentinian_n the_o father_n be_v the_o first_o emperor_n of_o that_o race_n and_o leave_v his_o brother_n valens_n and_o elder_a son_n gratian_n in_o possession_n of_o the_o imperial_a throne_n but_o as_o ammi_n marcell_n intimate_v for_o fear_v lest_o on_o valentinian_n death_n the_o legion_n in_o gaul_n who_o very_o well_o know_v the_o empire_n be_v not_o hereditary_a shall_v create_v another_o emperor_n perhaps_o sebastianus_n who_o be_v for_o that_o reason_n send_v far_o enough_o out_o of_o the_o way_n 10._o a_o second_o reason_n for_o the_o title_n jovian_a be_v his_o be_v a_o confessor_n for_o his_o religion_n under_o the_o apostate_n who_o be_v say_v to_o have_v persecute_v against_o law_n and_o yet_o jovian_a demean_n himself_o quiet_o to_o this_o he_o reply_v that_o if_o jovian_a be_v quiet_a valentinian_n be_v not_o so_o when_o he_o strike_v the_o priest_n nor_o the_o caesarean_o who_o destroy_v the_o temple_n of_o fortune_n but_o what_o be_v this_o to_o the_o point_n do_v they_o offer_v to_o take_v arm_n against_o julian_n or_o to_o rebel_n against_o he_o that_o persecute_v their_o religion_n against_o law_n the_o impertinence_n of_o these_o instance_n mr._n i._o be_v aware_a of_o and_o for_o that_o reason_n intimate_v somewhat_o which_o if_o true_a will_v be_v more_o to_o the_o purpose_n viz._n that_o julian_n dare_v not_o trust_v jovian_a himself_n nor_o leave_v he_o behind_o lest_o he_o shall_v rebel_v during_o his_o absence_n in_o persia._n this_o be_v the_o plain_a meaning_n of_o what_o mr._n i._o do_v not_o speak_v out_o he_o can_v imagine_v what_o necessity_n julian_n shall_v have_v of_o iovian's_n company_n in_o the_o persian_a war_n for_o that_o he_o be_v in_o no_o post_n where_o his_o service_n can_v be_v considerable_a but_o a_o pikeman_n 101._o not_o entrust_v with_o any_o command_n so_o much_o as_o of_o a_o sergeant_n be_v no_o more_o than_o a_o common_a foot-souldier_n here_o be_v fiction_n upon_o fiction_n without_o the_o least_o authority_n to_o give_v it_o colour_n what_o a_o pregnant_a fancy_n have_v our_o author_n who_o can_v manage_v a_o slight_a hint_n to_o ●uch_v advantage_n and_o improve_v a_o single_a word_n into_o so_o formal_a a_o story_n he_o do_v not_o quote_v his_o author_n for_o this_o who_o be_v themistius_n he_o have_v reason_n to_o conceal_v he_o lest_o his_o reader_n shall_v take_v pain_n to_o consult_v the_o place_n and_o find_v no_o such_o thing_n but_o a_o plain_a intimation_n to_o the_o contrary_a as_o you_o shall_v see_v anon_o and_o i_o wonder_v how_o he_o adventure_v to_o cite_v socrates_n who_o flat_o contradict_v his_o groundless_a assertion_n that_o jovian_a be_v no_o more_o than_o a_o common_a foot_n soldier_n i_o will_v cite_v the_o entire_a passage_n according_a to_o the_o translation_n of_o valesius_fw-la jovian_a being_n valesius_fw-la a_o tribune_n when_o julian_n give_v the_o soldier_n their_o option_n by_o a_o law_n either_o to_o sacrifice_n or_o be_v cashier_v choose_v rather_o to_o lay_v down_o his_o commission_n than_o to_o obey_v the_o command_n of_o that_o ungodly_a prince_n nevertheless_o julian_n be_v constrain_v by_o the_o necessity_n of_o the_o approach_a war_n usurpatur_fw-la retain_v he_o among_o his_o commander_n so_o valesius_fw-la more_o full_o express_v the_o true_a importance_n of_o the_o greek_n word_n than_o mr._n i._n who_o render_v it_o have_v he_o among_o his_o commander_n this_o place_n manifest_o imply_v that_o jovian_a notwithstanding_o his_o refusal_n to_o sacrifice_n continue_v in_o the_o same_o command_n for_o though_o he_o choose_v rather_o to_o lay_v down_o his_o commission_n than_o sacrifice_n yet_o julian_n choose_v rather_o to_o dispense_v with_o his_o own_o edict_n than_o part_n with_o such_o a_o excellent_a officer_n so_o then_o jovian_a be_v neither_o cashier_v nor_o reform_v as_o neither_o be_v valentinian_n nor_o valens_n upon_o their_o refusal_n to_o sacrifice_n for_o socrates_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o next_o book_n relate_v the_o election_n of_o valentinian_n and_o how_o steady_a in_o their_o religion_n both_o he_o and_o his_o brother_n valens_n be_v express_o say_v that_o though_o they_o both_o choose_v rather_o to_o lose_v their_o employment_n than_o to_o sacrifice_n yet_o the_o emperor_n julian_n know_v they_o to_o be_v very_o serviceable_a to_o the_o commonwealth_n 1._o remove_v neither_o of_o they_o from_o their_o military_a station_n nor_o yet_o jovian_a who_o reign_v after_o he_o and_o it_o be_v further_a evident_a that_o valentinian_n be_v not_o dismiss_v his_o command_n from_o 16._o theodoret_n relation_n of_o his_o strike_v the_o priest_n for_o which_o he_o

be_v cashier_v he_o will_v not_o have_v be_v oblige_v to_o have_v attend_v julian_n to_o his_o pagan-worship_n and_o by_o consequence_n will_v have_v have_v no_o provocation_n to_o strike_v the_o
