... demolished the temple of Venus at Aphaca on Mount Libanus, and abolished the infamous deeds which were there celebrated. Why need I describe his expulsion of the Pythonic demon from Cilicia, by commanding the mansion in which he was lurking to be razed from its foundations? So great indeed was the emperor’s devotion to Christianity, that when he was about to enter on a war with Persia, he prepared a tabernacle formed of embroidered linen on the model of a church, just as Moses had done in the wilderness;[Exodus 35-40] and this so constructed as to be adapted to conveyance from place to place, in order that he might have a house of prayer even in the most desert regions.

And if there be any heretical or unreasoning beast, let him remain below, or he will run the risk of being stoned by the Word of truth.
