the_o emperor_n severus_n or_o of_o avidius_n cassius_n who_o contest_v with_o the_o emperor_n verus_n for_o this_o have_v be_v contrary_a to_o what_o he_o assert_v elsewhere_o that_o they_o fill_v their_o garrison_n and_o army_n as_o before_o but_o only_a that_o they_o be_v none_o of_o the_o contriver_n or_o plotter_n of_o those_o war_n which_o be_v by_o those_o competitor_n set_v on_o foot_n

possible_o his_o right_n be_v more_o disputable_a than_o that_o of_o the_o pretender_n who_o be_v overcome_v yet_o they_o adhere_v even_o to_o he_o when_o once_o settle_v upon_o the_o throne_n and_o for_o this_o i_o think_v i_o have_v evident_a proof_n from_o the_o view_n of_o the_o emperor_n who_o cause_n tertullian_n own_v in_o that_o defence_n of_o he_o but_o now_o quote_v especial_o one_o of_o they_o severus_n who_o raise_v the_o six_o persecution_n against_o the_o christian_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o tertullian_n commend_v the_o carriage_n of_o the_o christian_n in_o their_o

evident_a that_o his_o title_n till_o conquest_n confirm_v it_o be_v the_o worst_a of_o two_o of_o his_o competitor_n for_o herodian_a tell_v we_o that_o immediate_o upon_o the_o death_n of_o

by_o his_o troop_n so_o that_o severus_n himself_o be_v while_o the_o contest_v last_v more_o true_o a_o rebel_n against_o niger_n than_o niger_n against_o he_o but_o whilst_o niger_n delay_n and_o
