THE Lord roused the Goths to war, and drew on to the Bosphorus
him who knew only how to fight against the pious. Then for the first
time the vain than became aware of his own weakness, and sent to his
brother to ask for troops. But Valentinian replied that it were
impious to help one fighting against God, and right rather to check
his rashness. By this the unhappy man was filled with yet greater
infatuation, yet he did not withdraw from his rash undertaking, and
persisted in ranging himself against the truth.
