- 1Ann. 518.
Binnius saith, that the Eastern Church yielded to blot out of the Diptychs the names of Acacius, Euphemius and Macedonius (not the Heretic) and the Emperors, Zeno, and Anastasius: The Pope maketh himself the Governor of Hell; where he thought these Emperors and Bishops were. But it is worse than Savage malice that will not cease towards dead men! And if the Empire yielded, they showed more love of Peace than Rome did, but not much wit, in giving a Prelate of another Princes Dominion such power to defame, and force them to defame their Emperors and Patriarchs at his pleasure.
