he died and was canonized at the earnest labour of all the people after whom many mourned in Rome aswell of the people and citizens as Senatours He was also called Pater patriae with Traian Adrian Vespasian and with Augustus During the reigne of this good Emperour fell such a great pestilence in Italie among the inhabitants thereof and other prouinces about Rome that there were new lawes made and ordained for the buriall of the dead At this time Asianus and also Appollinaris Bishop of Hieropolis wrote both two bookes in defence of the Christian religion dedicated them to the Emperor Antoninus In Fraunce vnder Farabertus the 28. king then raigning in Fraunce dyed many by persecution for profession of christianitie at what time Lucius the sonne of Coyllus reigned king among the Brytanes who in the 13. yeere of his gouernment receiued the Christian faith as both Gyldas and Beda affirme Polycarpus Bishop of Smyrna the disciple of Iohn the Euangelist came into Rome in Antoninus time whom Ireneus much commendeth Now for that the name of Antoninus was so much honored of the Romans it was decreed that none should be so named but by consent of the Senators such Consuls as then raigned for Antoninus became as great a name in Rome as Augustus was such was the loue and honour that the Romanes yelded to this name The Senators had no greater present to present Alexander Seuerus then to offer him that name and so to be called Seuerus Antoninus The vertue and rarenesse of the men made the name so honourable and therefore I will put them downe with the magistrates and Officers that ruled in Rome during the time of these two rare Emperours Antoninus Pius and Antoninus surnamed the Philosopher Plautius Syluanus Iulius Seuerus Marcus Aulius Antoninus Herodes Atticus Lollianus Auitus Grauius Maximus Seleucus and Ruffinus Gallicanus Glabrio Torquatus and Camerinus Marcus Vibullius surnamed Augur Atidius Cornelianus who had charge in Syria at Antoninus death Quintilius and Priscus Pescenius niger Metilius Bradua and Lucius Aelianus Lucius Aelius Verus Stacius Priscus and Auidius Cassius two notable captaines Aufidius Victorinus Iunius Rusticus and Elius Celsus Erutius Clarus Flaccus Piso and Iulianus which was afterward Emperour Claudius Pompeianus and Cethegus Heren Apronianus and Quintilinus These with many moe notable men that gouerned in Rome when Antoninus Pius raigned This Quintilinus whose house stocke Commodus the emperour after destroyed who likewise was by his father made Caesar and had triumphed before with his father These were the chiefe men that then bare rule in Rome in the time of Marcus Antoninus fewe such Emperours were founde in Rome after they dyed In time of Marcus Antoninus Smyrna a famous towne of Asia fell by an earthquake to the repayring whereof this Emperour bestowed much money and the Temple of Serapis was this time in Alexandria burned Nowe when Lucius Antoninus Commodus beganne his Empire after his father the vertue of his father shined the more beyng dead by the vices of the sonne that succeeded after who from his cradle was wicked cruell and beastly he so defamed himselfe with ryot and ribawdry that hee had three hundred concubines and three hundred delicate males youthes which he vsed as women he commanded his Colossus or image to be put vp and withall made a decree that he should be called God Hercules This shamelesse Emperour vnwoorthie of the name of Antoninus woulde play openly vpon the Theater with fencers and he vsed himselfe so hatefully that he was abhorred of all men and enuied as an enemie of mankinde and so he ended his life being either thratled or poysoned after hee had reigned thirteene yeeres For it was a woonder to see two good Emperours to succeede one another in Rome nay wee cannot reade but of onelie two which were good Vespasian and his sonne Titus all the rest cruell tyrants degenerated from kinde and in whom appeared nothing more then treason or murther After whome followed the Emperour Pertinax an aged man who had done much seruice and therefore aduaunced to the empire much against his will for he was 69. yeres olde when he was chosen Emperour scant hee had reigned eightie dayes but he was slaine of the souldiers and his head cut off and caried rounde about Rome by the commaundement of Iulianus who was the wolfe that caused this murther but he was well requited The like death happened to Iulianus being a man very factious and seditious and very ambitious this was nephew to that Iulianus which liued in Adrianus time he was discōfited by Seuerus Septimius at a place called Miluius bridge soone after slaine in his owne palace his head cut off and put vp in the market place at what time Pescennius was in Antioch and Septimius Seuerus was in Panonia both created Caesars But after that Seuerus slue Pescennius hee tooke the rule gouernment of the Romane empire was the first Emperour created forth of Affricke This was of great credite for he had bin treasurer and Tribune of the souldiers and at the last had the charge of the whole weale publike This the Senate gratified much according to his request and gaue him the name of Pertinax whome Seuerus loued so well that he both desired and commanded to be called Pertinax whose death Seuerus reuenged vpon Pescennius others He was a valiant man for he ouercame the Parthians and the Arabians and therfore was surnamed Parthicus Seuerus he subdued Britaine who then after the death of Lucius began ciuil wars betweene themselues and were almost vtterly conquered by Seuerus by reason the noble men and Britaine held ciuill warres During which time Clodius Albinus created himselfe Caesar in Fraunce whom he slue at Lugdunum whose head he sent to Rome and whose friends in Rome at his returne he persecuted to the last This Emperour was well learned and a great Philosopher This Emperour Seuerus after he had repayred many things throughout the Romane empire and had made Rome againe chiefe mistres of those prouinces lost he passed ouer the Sea vnto Britaine where after he had subdued them hee dyed among them in the citie of Yorke in the eighteenth yeere of his reigne Polidore doeth not agree with Eutropius in this but in the Romane historie Eutropius must be beleued After Seuerus succeeded his sonne Aurelius Bassianus who also was called Caracalla he was in conditions much like to his father but more sharpe he was out of measure giuen to sensualitie and carnall concupiscence he espoused his mother in lawe named Iuba of some named Iubba though vnder colour to demaund Artabanus his daughter king of Parthia in mariage which he falsly deceiued beside the expectation of Artabanus he slue many of the Parthians This Antoninus Caracalla hauing had a sight of Alexander the great his picture wherin he noted his sterne countenance with his head somewhat leaning to

time Piso was Praetor in Syria and Pontius Pilate was President in Iudea This very time the Parthians required of the Romanes king Phraartes sonne named Vonones which was by his owne father put to the Romanes in pledge of loyaltie to come againe to his kingdome which being graunted hee shortly after was despised and driuen out of his kingdome by Artabanus Mithridates waged warre and died in the Isle of Thiae banished from Rome for at that time there was a lawe made in Italy for the banishing of Sooth sayers and Mathematicians Within a litle while after fell sharpe and cruel warre of this warre betweene the Parthians and Hiberians Reade Tacitus At this time many great terrible earthquakes chaunced and many great wonders were seeene a little before Christ Iesus suffered his death and passion for after the last earthquake spoken of before fell againe thirteene great and famous townes by another earthquake whose names Eusebius setteth downe in this sort as in the margent you may reade Our Sauiour Christ died in the Emperour Tiberius his raigne at what time were finished the seuentie weekes spoken of in Daniel about which time Philo Iudaeus was sent from Alexandria to Rome to entreate the Romanes to bee friendes to the Citizens of Alexandria This Philo Iudaeus was of great authoritie in those dayes being a Iewe borne his first comming to Rome was accepted the fifteenth yeere of the raigne of Tiberius the seconde comming was in the second yeere of the raigne of Caius Caligula where hee was but litle welcome and with threatning wordes of Caligula he returned backe to Alexandria In the time of this C. Caligula came Herode the Tetrarche from Iewrie to Rome and was by Caligula then banished from Iudea to Lugdunum a towne in France and Pontius Pilate who gaue sentence of death vpon the Sonne of God our Sauiour IESVS CHRIST in Ierusalem this time fell into such miseries and calamities that hee with his owne hande killed himselfe Matthewe the Euangelist wrote his Gospell in Iudea in the Hebrewe tongue in the last yeere of the Emperour Caligula at what time Simon Magus the Sorcerer flourished and was honoured as a god in Rome and in many other places I will returne to the successour of Caligula Tiberius Claudius hee sawe Drusus an vncle by the father side to Caligula and brothers sonne to Tiberius Nero this made warres vpon the Britaines which is now called England ouer whom he triumphed at Rome and at that time hee annexed certaine Ilands situate beyond Britaine called Orcades to the Empire of Rome he appointed playes in Rome at what time ciuil warres grew amongst the Parthians In the time of this Claudius diuers and sundry great famines were in many countreys great famine was in Iudea and the Apostles suffered much persecution but they were comforted by the brethren Of this famine spake Agabus in the Acts of the Apostles In Rome also was great famine and in Greece This Claudius Tiberius had a wife named Messalina a woman most vntemperate giuen to much filthie lust neuer satisfied with venerie nor neuer wearie by this lewde Empresse many were destroyed Many things did this Claudius very quietly and many things hee did very cruelly without discretion and behaued himselfe very courteously towards diuers of his friendes and therefore was thought of many not to be wise Eutropius saith that there was a most honorable tombe made to him at Mentz in Germanie This Emperour liued 64. yeeres and raigned in Rome Emperour foureteene yeeres after whome succeeded Claudius Domitius Nero who was sonne in lawe vnto Claudius Drusus who adopted him to be his successour in the Empire after the building of Rome 807. yeeres some say 809 and after that Christ died 57. This was the sixt Emperour of Rome who excelled all good Emperours for fiue yeeres gouernment for Traian the Emperour was wont to say Omnes principes procul à Neronis quinquennio distare for hee builded the Anephitheaters and founded Bathes and named them after his owne name at Rome he ordeined certaine places euery fiue Quinquenale imitating the Greekes in their Olympiads and named them Neronea the playes of Nero hee much resembled his vncle Caligula a man much giuen to all kinde of riot charges and expences hee poysoned the sonne of Claudius whom his father sirnamed Britanicus in remembrance of his victorie ouer the Britaines hee married Octauia and slew her husband and as Eusebius saith slewe her also hee married a courtezane named Poppea and slew her hee had carnall copulation with Agrippina his owne naturall mother and after slew her he also slewe a great nomber of the Senate and diuers other worthie citizens This Emperour exceeded all tyrants in crueltie hee committed diuers murthers vpon his owne kinsefolkes and slewe his scholemaster that graue and learned man Seneca When that this Nero had giuen himselfe wholy to all tyrannie and became an enemie to all good hee would daunce and sing openly with strumpets in the apparell of a cōmon minstrell Now when hee had murthered Senators citizens and diuers gentlemen and had slaine his owne brother his wife and his mother he set the citie of Rome on fire and let it burne for 6. dayes to make him know how the citie of Troy burned when it was on fire by the Grecians And when he had left no euill thing vndone on earth hee beganne to persecute the Church and to murther the saincts of God as shal be spoken in the History of the Church of Paul Peter and others Reade Tacitus of this wicked Emperour While he fomed in blood at Rome the Parthians bereft him of Armenia and he had almost as Eutropius saith lost Britaine he durst do nothing in feates of armes for these cruel facts he was abhorred of all men and cleane forsaken of his owne friends he was adiudged of the Senate to be an enemy of the weale publike Nero hearing that he should be drawen naked through the citie and be whipt til he were dead hee fled secretly forth of his Pallace by night with his Eunuch Sporus and slew himselfe 4. miles from Rome In the time of Nero fell by an earthquake three townes in Asia called Laodicea Hieropolis and Colossa Diuers earthquakes and many wonders were seene in Rome murther and slaughter in Iudea battels and blood At what time Albinus gouerned the Iewes vnder the Romans In Neroes time gouerned in Britaine Aruiragus in whose dayes many Britaines were conuerted to the faith by Ioseph of Arimathea a Iew borne and one of them that buried our Sauiour Christ.
