§. 22. IV. Nestorius himself was so turbulent an enemy to heresy and toleration, that while he would needs be an Orthodox persecutor he fell under the reputation of being a most damnable heretic: His zeal arose against the supposed heresy of calling Mary [Greek or Hebrew], the mother or parent of God; But he never denied that she was the mother of him that is God: Hereupon Cyril (as turbulent a man and more, if Isidore Pelusiota and other good men say true) charged him with asserting two persons in Christ, as well as two Natures: which his own express words deny: And who best knew his own opinion but himself? On the other side the Nestorians accused the Cyrilians of heresy, as confounding the two Natures, and blasphemously making a Creature God, and saying that God was but so many months or so many years old. Though the extraordinarily Learned David Derodon have written to prove Nestorius Orthodox, and Cyril an Eutychian heretic•• yet truly it is evident in the history and their […] that they meant the same thing, and strove but about words, and skilful speaking, in which Cyril carried it by his greater learning, and by Nestorius his succeeding St. Chrysostom in the hatred of the Court.
