The nonconformists plea for peace, or, An account of their judgment in certain things…

The Orthodox Monks gathered by the Bishops, tumultuously cast the Emperors Soldiers out of ⟨p. 285⟩the Church: (c. 34) After another conflux they anathematized those that adhered to Severus. The Emperor provoked, sent Olympius with a band of Soldiers to conquer them. He came and cast out Elijah, and put in John: The Monks gather again, and the Soldiers being gone, they cause John to engage himself to be against Severus, and stand for the Council, though unto blood; which, contrary to his word to Olympius, he did. The Emperor deposed Olympius, and sent another Captain Anastasius, who put the Bishop in prison, and commanded him to despise the Council; consulting with another Bishop, he promised to obey him, if he would but let him out of prison two days before, that it might not seem a forced act: This being done, the Bishop contrarily to the Congregation in the pulpit, before the Captain crieth out [If any assent to Eutyches and Nestorius (contraries) and Severus and Soterichus Caesar, let him be Anathema: If any follow not the Opinions of the four universal Synods, let him be Anathema.] The Captain thus deluded, fled from the multitude, and was glad to save himself: The Emperor being offended at this, the Bishops write to him that at Jerusalem, the fountain of Doctrine, they were not now to learn the Truth, and they would defend the Traditions, if need be, even to blood.] Nic•p. c. 34.
