10.  He was truly crucified for our sins.  For if thou wouldest deny it, the place refutes thee visibly, this blessed Golgotha Eusebius, Life of Constantine, iii. 28., in which we are now assembled for the sake of Him who was here crucified; and the whole world has since been filled with pieces of the wood of the Cross The discovery of the “True Cross” is related with many marvellous particulars by Socrates, Eccles. Hist. i. 17; and Sozomen, E. H. ii. 1.  A portion was said to have been left by Helena at Jerusalem, enclosed in a silver case; and another portion sent to Constantinople, where Constantine privately enclosed it in his own statue, to be a safeguard to the city.  Eusebius, Life of Constantine, iii. 25–30 , gives a long account of the discovery of the Holy Sepulchre, but makes no mention of the Cross.  Cyril seems to have been the first to record it, 25 years after.  Cf. Greg. Nyss. Bapt. Christi (p. 519)..  But He was crucified not for sins of His own, but that we might be delivered from our sins.  And though as Man He was at that time despised of men, and was buffeted, yet He was acknowledged by the Creation as God:  for when the sun saw his Lord dishonoured, he grew dim and trembled, not enduring the sight.
