§. 50. C. An. 403. Was the Synod ad Quercum, which deposed Chrysosto••.
§. 51. C•. An. 403, 404, &c. There were seven Councils in Afric, against the Donatists, to procure Honorius to suppress them by the Sword, not as a Heresy, but because they rose up by Fire and Sword against the Catholics, and abused and killed many. But when Attalus invaded Afric, the Emperor proclaimed Liberty for them, to quiet them; which he after recalled. Another Synod was held against them at Cyrta. One at Toletum about Ordinations; and one at Ptolemais to Excommunicate Andronicus, an oppressing Governor.

§. 52. CII. The Donatist Bishops held a Council, decreeing, that when a sentence of banishment was passed on them, they would not forsake their Church, but rather voluntarily die, as many did by their own hands: For they took themselves to be the true Church and Bishops, and the rest persecuting Schismatics.
