Secondly Innocentius annuls this condemnation, ⟨p. 53⟩and declares him innocent. Thirdly, he Excommunicates Atticus Bishop of Constantinople, and Theophilus Bishop of Alexandria for persecuting Saint Chrysostom. Fourthly, after Saint Chrysostom was dead in Banishment, Pope Innocentius Excommunicates Arcadius the Emperor of the East, and Eudoxia his wife. Fifthly, the Emperor and Empress humble themselves, crave pardon of him, and were absolved by him. The same is evident in those matters, which passed about the year 450. where Theodosius the Emperor of the East having too much favoured the Eutychian Heretics by the instigation of Chrysaphius the Eunuch, and Pulcheria his Empress, and so intermeddled too far in Ecclesiastical causes, yet he ever bore that respect to the See of Rome, (which doubtless in those circumstances he would not have done, had he not believed it an Obligation) that he would not permit the Eutychian Council at Ephesus to be assembled, without the knowledge and Authority of the Roman Bishop Leo the first; and so wrote to him to have his presence in it, who sent his Legates▪ unto them. And though both Leo's letters were dissembled, and his Legates affronted, and himself excommunicated by ⟨p. 54⟩wicked Dioscorus, Patriarch of Alexandria, and president of that Conventicle, who also was the chief upholder of the Eutychians, yet Theodosius repented before his death, banished his wife Pulcheria and Chrysaphius the Eunuch, the chief favourers of the Eutychians, and reconciled himself to the Church with great evidences of Sorrow and Penance.
