ARGUMENT.
AUGUSTIN CENSURES THE PAGANS, WHO ATTRIBUTED THE CALAMITIES
OF THE WORLD, AND ESPECIALLY THE
RECENT SACK OF ROME BY THE GOTHS, TO THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION,
AND ITS PROHIBITION OF THE WORSHIP OF THE
GODS. HE SPEAKS OF THE BLESSINGS AND ILLS OF LIFE, WHICH
THEN, AS ALWAYS, HAPPENED TO GOOD AND BAD
MEN ALIKE. FINALLY, HE REBUKES THE SHAMELESSNESS OF THOSE
WHO CAST UP TO THE CHRISTIANS THAT THEIR
WOMEN HAD BEEN VIOLATED BY THE SOLDIERS.
