Church-history of the government of bishops and their councils abbreviated including the chief part…

The Guilty hated him: His Hearers loved him: Swift-Writers took his Sermons, which tell us what he was to this day: And it was honesty and policy in Innocent Bishop of Rome to own him, who had worth to add to the reputation of his defendants. Among other of his accusations, one was, that Eutropius an Eunuch, Chamberlain to the Emperor, procured a Law against Delinquents taking the Church for a Sanctuary. And shortly after being to be beheaded, for a crime against the Emperor, he took the Church for a Sanctuary himself; And Chrysostom from the Pulpit Preached a Sermon against him, while he lay prostrate at the Altar. Also he resisted Gainas the Arian, who turned Traitor and was destroyed▪

Another cause of Chrysostom's disturbance was, that one Severianus Bishop of Gabale in Syria, came into Constantinople, and Preached for Money, and drew away the hearts of the People, while Chrysostom was about choosing a Bishop for Ephesus: Serapion a turbulent Deacon quarrelled with the Syrian Bishop, and would not reverence him: The Bishop said, If Serapion die a Christian, Christ was not Incarnate. Serapion tells Chrysostom the last words without the first: Chrysostom forbids Severianus the City: The Empress taketh his part, and importuneth Chrysostom to be reconciled to Severianus. But the Core remained, Socrat. l. 6. c. 10.
