Theodoret’s earlier letter to him (cf. Letter XLIV. p. 264.) He
was present at Chalcedon. | the
Patrician.
I cherish an indelible memory of
your magnificence, and now by very religious and holy bishops I salute
you. The very holy lord bishop Domnus has arranged for them to journey
to the imperial city in order to put an end to the false charges raised
against me. For certain men have contrived manifest calumnies against
me, and have grievously disturbed the churches for whose sake the Lord
Christ “endured the Cross despising the shame”;1806
in whose behalf the band of the divine
apostles and companies of victorious martyrs were delivered to many
kinds of death. On behalf of their peace I call on your magnificence to
contend. It had been easy for the God of all to have nodded His head
and scattered the lowering clouds; but He bides His time, and thereby
at once shews the endurance of them that are assailed, and gives us
opportunities of doing good.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
