Licinius Anno Dom. 310. LIcinius a Dacian borne An. Dom. 310. being a man knowne to be singular and rare in feates of Armes was by Galerius made Captaine Generall afterwards Co-emperor For wretched avarice and bestiality of lust hee was knowne to be most dissolute and hee was so ill bred and extravagantly drowned in ignorance that he became an enemy of all litterate and learned men terming them the skum and filth of men endeavouring by all meanes that men should shun and avoid them as a poyson or a contagious plague He grew so insolent and proud for one onely victory which hee obtained in the East that hee slighted and contemned Constantinus and began to increase his cruelty and tyranny against the Christians Whereupon Constantinus opposed himselfe and they both joyning battaile this Tyger was put to flight in the Countrey of Pannonia and intending to reinforce his cause was in his 〈◊〉 campe by his owne souldiers manacred in Thessalonica at the age of 50 yeeres and of his government 〈◊〉 and was carelesly cast into a pit having no other respective funerall 66. Martinianus Anno Domini 312. MArtinianus Anno Domini 312. a Sclavonian by Nation a man meanely borne but well experienced in the Art Military was for that cause made Generall of the Horse He was created Emperor and Caesar in Bizantium but in a short time he lost both dignity and life because being taken in Thessalia with Licinius by the expresse command of Constantine they were both murthered by the Souldiers and therefore not having left any memoriall behinde him but this example that we may see and know that many were raised to the Imperiall dignity more by sedition ambition and interest in their souldiers than by any their just desert claime or title to such a degree But it is no wonder that in a manner all or most of them died immaturely and unfortunately being they had neither a meane order or regular way of governing themselves much lesse others living for the most part dissolutely not reflecting on the Proverb Qualis vita Finis ita Live well dye well 67.

Dom. 312. a Britan by Nation a man most valiant and worthy in a manner of an Empire more than any one of his Antecessors after the death of his * I suppose i● is meant Constantian Clor●● Father he was elected Emperor He overcame all the Tyrants of the Empire and recovered all rebellious Countries wherefore hee entered into the City of Rome in wonderfull pompe He began to persecute the Christians wherefore peradventure by the divine will and pleasure he was so infected with a Leprosie that the Physitians left him as incurable But the heavenly Grace was his assistance for being asleepe in the night hee saw a vision telling him that if he desired to recover his health hee should recall Silvester the Bishop and all the Clergy from exile Which thing he performing and being baptized he was immediately cured And increasing in devotion hee built many Churches to the glory and hon●it of God This Emperor would say in praise of Age that Age appeared to be best in foure things Old wood best to burne old Wine to drinke old friends to trust and old Authors to read of Moreover he said that there was but this difference betweene the death of old men and young men that old men goe to death and death comes to young men This Emperour built a City called by his name Constantinople whither hee after translated the Imperiall seate And being at the age of 66 yeeres he passed to a botter life to the great griefe of all and especially of the Christians then living whom he did entirely love and cherish Hee obtained the sole Monarchy of the whole Empire and every where restored peace to the Church He was prolected 〈◊〉 in all his wars he exhorted 〈…〉 to Christianity but compelle 〈◊〉 It was thought that he was poisoned of his brothers at Nicomedia in Greece and had pompous sunorals worthy of so great a Man at the Gity of Constantinople which hee had lately built● 68. Crispus An. Domini 314. ABritan by birth was Crispan An. Dom. ●14 who by his Father Constantiue was elected Emperour and honoured with the title of Casar hee was a man so proper and compleate in the beauty of person that Fausta his Mother in law sought by all meanes possible to allure and intice him to her lust unto whom he by no meanes willing to consent by his vertuous obstinacy converted her vicious love into an extreaunity of hatred insomuch that she accused him to his Father for a forcible violator of her chastity To whose words Constantine giving credit caused the vertuous young man to be miserably put to death at Pola in Histria But not long after this sallacy of the Mother in law comming to light and the innocency of the chaste young man worth an eternall memory being manifestly discovered the wicked Step mother sought to excuse the incestuous malice with the pretence of her plot to wit That Crispus should not be a hinderance to the honour of her sonnes in the Imperiall claime But at length by the perswasion of Helena who was infinitely grieved for the death of her Grand-child the wicked step-mother was put into a hot bath wherein shee breathed her last and suffered a death to●● mild for such an impious and treacherous impurity This Emperor was taught and instructed in Learning by the famous Lactantius It is evident that he was singularly qualified valiant and fortunately victorious Helena his Grand mother much lamented his immature death which was not onely suddaine but mischievous and griev'd the whole Empire who by that meanes were deprived of so hopefull a Governour 69. Constantinus Anno Domini 314. COustantine was the second of that name An. Dom. 314.
