ap. 51.
[59] Even the sanguine imagination of Tertullian cannot conceive the
possibility of this event "Sed et C[ae]sares credidissent super Christo,"
he exclaims, "si aut C[ae]sares non essent seculo necessario, aut si et
Christiani potuissent esse C[ae]sares." _Apol._, c. 21.
[60] Literally, "They are no more because they never were." Eusebius
applies, the promises of Scripture concerning the restoration of the
exiled Jews from Babylon (Psa. lxxx; xcviii;) to the condition of
Christianity in his day. The above citations are given in his very
words.
[61] While yet alive, Domitian was called, "our Lord and God"--_Dominus
et Deus noster._
[62] Nemo compellitur, sed sponte confert _Tertul Apol._ c. 39.
