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

§ 18. In brief, After the reading of many Papers, and Ibas Epistles, the tria Capitula were condemned, viz. Theodore Mopsuest. and the writings of Theodoret against Cyril, and Ibas Epistle. And so the Emperor found the Council as obedient as he desired.

§ 19. But Vigilius Bishop of Rome, who would not come to the Council, now giveth in his Constitutum, or his own judgment upon the whole Case, and that with great moderation. He first reciteth many passages of Theodore Mopsuest. which he renounceth; and he dispraiseth the passages of Theodoret and Ibas, but he refuseth to join in the anathematizing of them, alleging that good men have their errors, and instancing in many whose errors were noted, and yet their persons not condemned, especially when they had either recanted them, or better explained their words: And he noteth that it would be a great injury to the Calcedon Council, to have its own members now thus condemned, that were by them accepted. [Quid enim aliud est mendaces aut simulantes professionem rectae fidei Patres in sancta Calced. Synodo residentes ostendere, quam dicere aliquos ex eis similia sapuisse Nestorio; quorum judicio Nestorium ejusque dogmata fuisse damnata.]
