8. Disproof of It.
With such a man the slanderer thought that I had
been on terms of friendship, or rather he did not think so, but like an
enemy invented an incredible fiction: for he knows full well that he
has lied. I would that, whoever he is, he were present here, that I
might put the question to him on the word of Truth itself (for whatever
we speak as in the presence of God, we Christians consider as an oath1312
1312 Vid.
Chrys. in Eph. Nicene Lib., Series I. vol. xiii. p.
58. | ); I say, that I might ask him this question,
which of us rejoiced most in the well-being of the departed Constans?
who prayed for him most earnestly? The facts of the foregoing charge
prove this; indeed it is plain to every one how the case stands. But
although he himself knows full well, that no one who was so disposed
towards the departed Constans, and who truly loved him, could be a
friend to his enemy, I fear that being possessed with other feelings
towards him than I was, he has falsely attributed to me those
sentiments of hatred which were entertained by himself.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
