tell_v you_o this_o kind_n of_o historian_n prelate_n i_o mean_v priest_n and_o monk_n have_v but_o a_o scurvy_a reputation_n for_o their_o fidelity_n this_o way_n for_o those_o prince_n who_o

which_o be_v worse_o unjust_o stigmatise_v but_o let_v we_o not_o make_v use_n of_o this_o advantage_n against_o so_o eminent_a a_o author_n as_o eusebius_n and_o therefore_o allow_v that_o either_o he_o will_v not_o or_o dare_v not_o write_v his_o own_o circumstance_n and_o those_o of_o the_o time_n not_o admit_v it_o for_o either_o he_o write_v his_o history_n while_o constantine_n be_v alive_a or_o soon_o after_o his_o death_n while_o he_o be_v yet_o alive_a he_o can_v not_o without_o unavoidable_a hazard_n of_o his_o life_n bring_v in_o the_o story_n of_o so_o horrid_a a_o villainy_n and_o little_o less_o can_v he_o have_v expect_v from_o constantius_n who_o survive_v his_o father_n and_o brethren_n if_o he_o have_v write_v it_o after_o he_o be_v dead_a for_o who_o i_o beseech_v you_o shall_v he_o spare_v who_o spare_v not_o his_o own_o blood_n shall_v we_o say_v therefore_o that_o those_o murder_n of_o constantine_n be_v feign_v because_o eusebius_n for_o fear_n of_o the_o father_n and_o when_o he_o be_v dead_a of_o the_o more_o cruel_a son_n dare_v not_o insert_v they_o into_o his_o history_n but_o eusebius_n say_v they_o commend_v crispus_n and_o therefore_o very_o unlikely_a it_o be_v that_o he_o shall_v have_v be_v murder_v by_o his_o father_n as_o if_o a_o enrage_a father_n who_o be_v jealous_a of_o his_o son_n be_v be_v naught_o with_o his_o mother-in-law_n can_v in_o the_o height_n of_o his_o passion_n so_o far_o command_v himself_o as_o to_o spare_v he_o because_o he_o be_v a_o hopeful_a and_o a_o forward_a youth_n or_o have_v not_o afterward_o testify_v his_o resentment_n of_o the_o injury_n he_o have_v do_v so_o excellent_a and_o virtuous_a a_o person_n when_o touch_v with_o grief_n and_o remorse_n for_o the_o murder_n of_o such_o a_o son_n he_o strangle_v his_o own_o wife_n fausta_n who_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o his_o suspicion_n in_o a_o bath_n eusebius_n therefore_o if_o he_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o be_v safe_a can_v not_o better_o consult_v his_o own_o security_n than_o by_o whole_o decline_v the_o mention_n of_o crispus_n murder_n in_o his_o history_n for_o one_o of_o these_o two_o he_o must_v necessary_o have_v do_v either_o have_v make_v crispus_n die_v innocent_a or_o not_o guilty_a he_o will_v not_o because_o the_o contrary_n be_v manifest_a to_o all_o man_n and_o innocent_a he_o dare_v not_o for_o fear_v of_o accuse_v the_o father_n and_o hence_o we_o may_v true_o infer_v that_o crispus_n be_v unblameable_a because_o among_o the_o rest_n who_o testify_v his_o innocence_n zosimus_n relate_v how_o sad_o he_o be_v lament_v by_o his_o grandmother_n helena_n and_o therefore_o eusebius_n for_o reason_n best_o know_v to_o himself_o leave_v that_o in_o doubt_n which_o zosimus_n more_o remote_a from_o that_o age_n ought_v by_o no_o mean_n to_o have_v omit_v and_o true_o i_o can_v but_o admire_v what_o be_v in_o the_o mind_n of_o these_o man_n who_o not_o content_a to_o have_v expose_v themselves_o by_o their_o zeal_n against_o zosimus_n will_v not_o allow_v constantius_n to_o have_v be_v cruel_a at_o all_o because_o he_o do_v not_o execute_v vetranio_n who_o have_v be_v guilty_a of_o treason_n as_o if_o one_o single_a instance_n be_v sufficient_a to_o entitle_v a_o man_n to_o the_o character_n of_o a_o gentle_a and_o merciful_a prince_n who_o at_o other_o time_n inhuman_o butcher_v his_o own_o relation_n for_o spare_v a_o man_n who_o by_o the_o course_n of_o nature_n can_v not_o live_v long_o of_o no_o birth_n not_o brave_o take_v or_o conquer_v but_o circumvent_v by_o a_o mere_a wile_n and_o the_o same_o constantius_n do_v nazianzen_n a_o man_n otherwise_o prudent_a enough_o commend_v only_o out_o of_o hatred_n to_o julian_n a_o man_n in_o many_o extraordinary_a virtue_n not_o equal_a but_o far_o superior_a to_o constantius_n to_o who_o though_o you_o allow_v his_o apostasy_n to_o the_o pagan_a folly_n to_o have_v be_v a_o reproach_n yet_o i_o can_v see_v any_o reasonable_a cause_n why_o you_o shall_v so_o far_o prefer_v that_o other_o champion_n of_o the_o arian_n madness_n and_o now_o i_o must_v prepare_v to_o wipe_v off_o another_o calumny_n whereby_o zosimus_n be_v

and_o quiet_v his_o mind_n he_o do_v by_o the_o persuasion_n of_o a_o certain_a spaniard_n call_v aegyptius_n come_v over_o to_o the_o christian_a faith_n as_o to_o a_o religion_n that_o will_v give_v

who_o be_v for_o acquit_v constantine_n against_o the_o faith_n and_o stream_n of_o historian_n will_v not_o allow_v to_o be_v true_a because_o it_o be_v so_o long_o before_o he_o will_v admit_v of_o
