The true case of the Controversy, § 2. ⟨image 12⟩Unity taken by one sides for undivided, and by the other for undistinguished, and so the world set again on fire: The Constantinople Council about Eutychius, § 5. Another Constantinople Council contrarily cleareth him, § 8. Ibas cleared at Council Beryt, § 7. The second Ephesine Council, under Dioscorus. Eutyches justified there. Flavianus, Euseb. Dor. Ibas and Theodorite condemned and deposed. All the Patriarchs else and Bishops subscribe, save the Popes Legates. Flavianus hur▪ and dieth, § 9. Leo in a Roman Council condemneth this, Eph. 2. § 10. Dioscorus in a Sinned at Alexandr. excommunicateth Leo, § 11. Theodosius virtue and miraculous Victory, § 15. His praise of the second Eph. Council, § 16. Martians reign, and the Council of Calcedon, § 14. 17. Turnings, mutual condemnings, recantings and rigour there, § 17. 18, 19. The cry of the Egyptian Bishops, § 24. The Abbots protestation to cleave only to the Nicene Creed (as Pioscorus did to the Nicene Council and Eph. 1.) and not to subscribe Leo's Epistle, and to contemn excommunications, § 25. Dioscorus not condemned for heresy, saith Anatolius, § 26. Theodorite's usage by the Bishops, § 27. The Canon equalling Const. and Rome, § 30. The doleful issue of this Council, § 31. The woeful work at Alexandria. The murder of Proterius, § 33. 34. The bloody Tragedy against the Calcedon Council and Juvenal (as betrayers of the Nicene Faith) by the Monks at Jerusalem, § 36. Eudocia and Pulcheria the Spring of all. Leo is Emperor, and for the Council of Calcedon. He disposeth Timothy Aelu•us at Alexandria, Peter Gnapheus usurpeth Martyrius Seat at Antioch: Martyrius renounceth his rebellious clergy and people. Gnapheus banished by Leo. Stephen that is for the Council is put in: The boys kill him with sharp Quills, and cast him into the River, § 37. Zeno Emperor, Basiliscus usurping commandeth the Bishops to renounce the Council of Calcedon. Three Patriarchs and five Hundred Bishops subscribe against it (before most were for it) Basiliscus changing his mind commandeth that the Council be owned. The Bishops obeyed this, § 38. Zeno restored, and being for the Council, the Asian Bishops said they subscribed to Basilicus first Orders for fear and asked pardon. Zeno by his Henoticon silenceth the controversy, leaving it free to all to own or disown the Council.
