Neither is the Gospel therefore the more to be suspected, because it hath entered into Princes Courts. Daniel was in King Nabuchodonosors Palace, and taught him to know the Living God.1 S: Paul rejoiced, and took comfort in his bands, for that there were some even in Nero's Court, that began to hearken to the Gospel. And Eusebius saith, Valeriani Aula erat jam Ecclesia Dei: Valerian the Emperors Court was now become the Church of God. Athanasius saith unto the Emperor Jovinian, Conueniens est Pio Principi, &c: The Study and love of Godly things, 2is very meet for a Godly Prince. For so shall you surely have your heart ever more in the hand of God. Likewise saith S. Cyril to the Emperors Theodosius and Valentinian: Ab ea, quae erga Deum est, pietate, Reipub. vestrae status pendet. ⟨p. 35⟩The state, and assurance of your Empire hangeth of your Religion towards God.
