Hunc enim obsequio celeri cuncta consideratione gemina efficere posse sperabat, quod adversam partem metueret offensam et properaret, nanctus hanc opportunitatem commendari Constantio, quem credebat procul dubio fore victorem: nemo enim omnium tunc ab hac constanti sententia discrepabat.
For he hoped that Gaudentius would be able to accomplish everything with prompt obedience for two reasons: both because he feared the adverse side, which he had offended, and because he would be eager to take advantage of this opportunity to commend himself to Constantius, who he thought would undoubtedly be the victor; for at that time there was no one at all who did not hold that firm conviction.
