Note N29 — St. PETER (continued 7)
Reading edition
Baronius pretends it was on this Occasion that Theodosius enacted the Law, dated from Verona the 3d of September of the present Year 390. commanding all, who professed a monastic Life, to quit the Cities, and retire, pursuant to their Profession, into the Deserts[1]. But that it was made on a very different Occasion, it will fall in my way to shew hereafter.
