And Euflathius added, He that faith there is but one nature : fo as to deny Chrifis flefhwhich is confabflantial withus, let him be Anathema : Andhe that faith there are two natures to the Diviftonof the Son of Gad, let him be Ana- thema. (one would have thought this Mould have ended their quarrel.) And Eufiathius added of Flaviamu himfelf, that he received thefe naked words, and gave them theEmperour; Let it be orderedthat his own hand be Paved. The Judges faid, Why then didyedepofe him? Euflathius anfwered, Erravi, ferret 4. 21. Let it behere noted, that there Eutychian words of Cyril arehere . openly proved, paff denial : yet fhamelefly doth Binniteu lay, that this is Erjlathii allegatio peffima er haretica: What, to repeat a mans- Words? !k Secondly, Isitnothere plain thatthey were all of a mind, and did not, or through fa&ion would not know it? when Euflathiva by a clear di- flin&ion had proved it , and none of them did or could contradift him.
