The Life of Constantine with Orations of Constantine and Eusebius.: Chapter LIII

Chapter LIII.—That the Barbarians kindly received the Christians.

“But what is the consequence of this?

And now the Roman people bear that lasting stain which the Christians, at that time driven from the Roman world, and taking refuge with the barbarians, have branded on them.
