Confessions: Book I, 1.

“Eusebius thus had a truly noble conception of the work which he had undertaken. It was nothing less than the history of a society which stood in an intimate relation to the Divine Logos Himself, a society whose roots struck down into the remotest past and whose destinies soared into the eternal future” (Henry Wace, Dictionary Of Christian Biography and Literature to the End of 6th Century, 686).
