And it is plain, that while all lides hekl that Neilerius did hold that there were Two Sons , which he exprefly denyed, that they turfed eV Arefforius in ignorance, and maintained his Doctrine (except of the apti- tude of the phrafe Ns-tox&,) while they curie his perfon or name. The Doctrine of thisCouncil is found, and Nefloriss s was the fame, for two natures in one perfon, and one Son. This is true, whatever Faction fay a- gainft it. IIl. That thefe Bifhops (though we honour them forall that was good in them) were fo far from the Martyrs Conftanty, that they turned as the Etnperours Countenance, and the Times, and worldly Intereft turned , voting down Things and Perfons in Councils, and crying omnes peccavi- mus in the next : Only Peter's Ship, faith Binni,u, fcaped drowning at Ephefus, and yet here at Calcedon under Martian all are Orthodox. IV. But that'which is worft of all is, that yet the fame men that cry pec.. cavimuu are here violent againft any mercy to the Egyptian Bifhops and Monks with whom they had joined at Ephefus. 4. 20. When an Epiftle of Cyrils was read, the Illyricane Bilhop cryed out, We all believe as Cyril did: Tbeodorete (that had been for Neffortus a- gainft'Cyril, and caft out by Diofcorus) fpake more warily, and faid, Anathema to him that faith there are two Sons : We adore our Lord yefus, &c. All the Bilhops cryed, We belive as Cyril. Hadnot Cyril's name bet- ter hap than Diofcorus and Eutyches, that followed him as far as they could underftand him, and fpake the fame words as he ? The Orientals cryed, We belive as Cyril. The Egyptians cryed , We be- lieve as Cyril, We are all of the fame opinion and mind; Let not Satangetplace and advanta?e amongus.

Diofcorus Paid, We affirmnei- ther confufion of natures, nor divifion, nor converfion; Anathema to him that doth. Doth not this (hew that they all agreed in Diftindionof Natures? as allo Cyril did. The Judges fay, Tell us whether Cyril's Elriftles agree towhat is here reported of them (by . Euflathiúo,) Eitgathins theweth the Book, and faith; If I have faid amifs fee the Book,,; Anathematize Cy -- ril's.
