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

§. 39. Upon this the Council was up again, and the Bishops became Orthodox once more: Till at last Zeno thought (as the Acacians did about laying by [Greek or Hebrew]) that the only way to unite these Bishops, was to leave all free, neither forbidding any to own the Council of Calcedon, nor yet compelling any to it. And so he wrote an Edict of Pacification, silencing the case, which he called his Henoticon: For he thought that the Bishops would never agree either for it or against it. But yet this ended not the quarrels: The fire still flamed: Liberty contented not the Bishops: They were zealous for God as against his Enemies the Heretics: And every Party were these Heretics and Enemies in the judgment of ⟨p. 113⟩the rest. All must be damned and ruined that would not be for God, that is, that was not of their minds. When Liberty was once up, the people were significant, and their mind was soon known. At Antioch, Calendion was cast out of his Seat, and Peter Cnapheus got in again. (For a Combat for a Bishopric was a War which they scrupled not.) And at Alexandria the whole City was in confusion while Peter Moggus and John strove who should be Bishop. Moggus of Alexandria anathematizing the Calcedon Council, and persecuting Dissenters, the Emperor laboureth to reconcile them. Acacius at Constantinople, though supposed Orthodox, Communicateth with Peter Moggus: whether in obedience to Zeno's Henoticon, or weary of hereticating, and why, is not known. (O how common were separatist Bishops in those days!) Faelix Bishop of Rome condemneth Acacius Bishop of Constantinople for this: Acacius had equal privileges given by the Calcedon Council, and had the presence of the Emperor and Senate,¹ and he again condemneth Faelix; blotting his name out of the sacred Albe (their Book of life.)
