Constantine and Theodosius are praised, and very many other holy princes, because they took away Idols, and either closed up, or else overthrew their Temples. But they did not these things, but for that they thought that the charge of Religion pertained unto them: otherwise they should have been busy fellows, and should have put their sickle into an other mans harvest. The Donatists took this in very ill part, and grievously complained ⟨image 272⟩thereof in Augustine's time, because the Catholic Bishops required aid of the Civil Magistrate against them.1 But Augustine confuteth them with the self same arguments, which I have a little before rehearsed, and addeth this moreover: Why did ye accuse Cecilianus Bishop of Carthage before Constā tine, if it be wicked for the Emperor to determine concerning Religion.
