Of the greeuous woful and long tragicall Acte or persecution, being in number the. 15. vnder the Emperours Dioclecian and Maximian, wherein innumerable Christians were martired and slayne. Chapter. ix.
None hath written more diligently 1of the persecution of the Emperors Jovius Diocletian, and Herculius Maximian then Eusebius in the last book of his ecclesiastical history. For he lived at that time, & beheld the doing of many things whereof he writeth. Wherefore the full and true discourse of these matters must be borrowed of him, which although it be terrible: yet is it there withal pleasant, & profitable to be read. As for me I mean but briefly to touch y• chiefest points.
