The Ethnic princes never thought that the care over Religion pertained not unto their power. Why was Socrates condemned at Athens? 1I do not now demand how holily or justly: (for as all men in a manner believe, Anitus and Melitus lied against him) this I speak, for that he was for no other cause condemned, but only for religion, as though he taught new gods, and led away the youth from the old, and received worshipping of the gods: and he was by a profane Magistrate condemned.2 Wherefore the Athenienses thought that the observance and care of religion pertained unto their Magistrate. The law of God commanded that the blasphemer should be put to death, not I think by every private man, or by the Priests, but by the Magistrates.

The law of God commaunded that the blasphemer should be put to death, not I thinke by euery priuate mā, or by the Priestes, but by the Magistrates. The Ethnike Emperors also in those first tymes did for no other cause rage agaynst the Christians, but bycause they thought that matters of religion pertayned vnto their iudgement seat. And assuredly as touching this opinion, they wer not deceaued: for none (as Chrisostome sayth) either Apostle or Prophet reproued the people,
