¶ Of the. 6. Tragical Act or persecution, which was under Nero, and of the seventh which was under Domitian, and of the eight under Ulpius Trajan, Emperors. Chapter VI.
¶ Of the. 6. Tragicall Acte or persecutiō, which was vnder Nero, and of the seuenth which was vnder Domitian, and of the eight vnder Vlpius Traian, Emperours. Chapter VI.
Paulus Orosius an old historician, who lived in the time of Austin, and wrote unto him seven books of Stories, beginneth the recital of the persecution of the Christian Church, from the persecution which Nero had moved, which he accounteth the first whose order the later Historicians also ⟨p. 24⟩ensued. And we likewise, in describing the Tragedies & persecutions committed against the Church: will follow the same order, as consequently they follow one another. But since it is manifest, y• the five above recited persecutions, were before these, as the scriptures do show, that which Orosius maketh the first, we make the sixth: although the matter be of no great importance in this respect.
