§ 13. 13. In Constantine's Reign the Jews had as much Liberty and Invitation to be Christians as any others: And Judea was not only made a National-Provincial Church, but was more honoured for Christs sake than any Nation no greater, save the Imperial Seat. There were more Churches Built, and more Monasteries, and more Bishops, than elsewhere, in so small a compass: No Jew was forbidden there to live. No Country so honoured: The Devout People from Rome and many Countries went thither, some on Pilgrimage, and some to dwell: Thence they fetched what Relics they could get in remembrance of Christ. There at Bethlehem Jerome lived while he wrote and studied much of his Works.
