Con Teodosio spirò il genio di Roma, poichè fu esso l'ultimo dei successori d'Augusto e di Costantino, che conducesse in campo gli eserciti e vedesse la sua autorità riconosciuta per tutta l'estensione dell'Impero. La memoria però delle sue virtù continuò tuttavia a difendere la debole ed inesperta età dei suoi figli. Dopo la morte del padre, Arcadio ed Onorio furono per unanime consenso del Mondo salutati come Imperatori legittimi dell'Oriente e dell'Occidente; fu ardentemente preso il giuramento di fedeltà da ogni ordine dello Stato, dai Senati dell'antica e della nuova Roma, dal Clero, dai Magistrati, da' Soldati e dal Popolo.

Al primo saluto di pace rinverdì vigorosa l¿operosità degli artieri, si ravviò la vicenda dei traffichi, si aprirono a serenità di letizia le fronti dei cittadini, e Padova si rifece città. Solo duravano le ostilità col duca d¿Austria, che negli accordi di Torino non aveva parte, e sebbene il consumo delle merci e delle vettovaglie spedite all¿esercito padovano, lo sguazzare di que¿ soldati vincenti e depredanti fruttasse profitto alle ragioni dei cittadineschi commercii, pure la pace era il desiderio di tutti, e volevasi tolta ogni rimembranza di quella misera condizione, che per cinque anni aveva lacerata la città ed il territorio.

L'INSEPARABILE connessione degli affari civili ed ecclesiastici mi ha dato motivo ed aiuto a riferire il progresso, le persecuzioni, lo stabilimento, le divisioni, il pieno trionfo e la successiva corruzione del Cristianesimo. Ma ho differito o bella posta l'esame di due religiosi avvenimenti, di conseguenza nello studio della natura umana, ed importanti nella decadenza e rovina del Romano Impero, cioè I. l'istituzione della vita monastica ; e II. la conversione de' Barbari Settentrionali.

1775. Giace Boston nel mezzo della provincia di Massacciusset su d'un tratto di terra, il quale congiunto essendo col continente per mezzo di una strettissima lingua, che chiamano l'istmo, si allarga per dar luogo, e ricevere tutta l'ampiezza della città. Questo tratto ha una figura irregolare, ritirandosi in dentro qua e là, per formare seni di mare, o sporgendo in fuori per fare promontorj. In su d'uno di questi seni, volto ad oriente, si trova il porto per ogni sorta di navi sì da guerra, che da commercio molto opportuno.

Cadeva la tirannide di Eccelino, e Padova l¿anno cinquantesimosesto del secolo terzodecimo ripigliava la intermessa amministrazione, e si reggeva a Comune. Per ben conoscere l¿origine de¿ suoi ordinamenti giova rimembrare che Carlo Magno preponeva i marchesi ed i conti a tenere il freno di molte città, e che questi sebbene soggetti a quelli, pure dominavano licenziosamente rompendo ad eccessi di orgoglio. Anche Padova ebbe i suoi conti; e la loro autorità, perchè trascorrevole da un canto, dall¿altro perchè subalterna, ingenerava avversione. Aggiugni le oppressioni dei feudatarii maggiori sovra i minori, le reluttanze di questi, le strettezze dei coloni legati alla gleba, il bisogno loro ...
