It is reported of Lucius King of England, who was the first King that ever by his authority established Christian religion in his Kingdom;¹ which is the honour of our country, it was the first Kingdom that ever had Christian Religion established by ⟨p. 88⟩the supreme magistrate. In the first entrance into the Kingdom, he favoured Christian Religion, as an ancient historian, Gildas Albanius reports: but yet the Religion he was brought up in stuck so fast in him, that he could not be brought off wholly to embrace Christian Religion. And a great thing that hindered him, was the offence he took at the outward meanness and poverty of Christians; and especially he looked at the Romans, who were a glorious and victorious people, and the Emperor there, who lived in so great glory and prosperity; and he considered with himself, that they did not embrace Christian Religion, and wherefore then should he: But after he learned from the Ambassadors of Caesar, that some of the noble and chief of Rome, as by name Trebellius and Pertinax, and others, embraced the Religion of Christians; that the Emperor himself was moved with that miraculous Rain, that was caused by the prayers of the Christians; then Lucius attended more fully ⟨p. 89⟩to understand what Christian Religion was, and was taken off from that which formerly hindered him. Whereupon he sent to Eleutherius, then Bishop of Rome, Elvanus and Medinus his Ambassadors, to send him some to instruct the Britons in the Doctrine of Christ, that he might establish Christian Religion in his Kingdom, and abolish Heathenism; this was in the year of Christ 179. Thus you see what a power Religion hath, when it is in great ones.
