CAP. XXIII.* 1.1
How the Eunomians were at discorde among them selues and called after sundrynames. Likewise of the Macedonians.
THe Eunomians were also deuided. for Eunomius him selfe first fell from Eudoxius who had* 1.2 chosen him bishop of Cyzicum, the occasion he tooke was because he woulde not admitt his maister Aetius lately excommunicated into the Churche. others also called after his name parted them selues into sundry sects. And first of all one Theophronius a Cappadocian, trayned vp* 1.3 in captious fallacies and quircks of logick vnder Eunomius, had Aristotles praedicaments and peri∣hermenias at his fingers endes, wrote bookes & entitled them the exercises of the minde. Wher∣fore he was hated of his owne sect and counted of them an Apostata: he raised thenceforth priuate conuenticles and left behinde him an heresie intitled with his appellation. Agayne at Constanti∣nople one Eutychius vpon light and trifling occasion fell from the Eunomians, and vnto this day* 1.4 frequenteth seuerall meetings. The followers of Theophronius were called Eunomothephroni∣ani, and such as were of the sect of Eutychius were termed Eunomieutychiani. what vaine and fond thinges they brawled about, I thinke it not needefull to laye downe in writing lest we shoulde di∣gresse from the history we haue in hande. Yet in somuch they haue corrupted baptisme, I must in no wise runne that ouer with silence. They baptize not in the trinitie but in the death of Christ. A∣mong the Macedonians also on a certaine time there rose a schisme, for Eutropius a Priest of the* 1.5 Macedonians gathered a seuerall company of such mates as he thought good to followe his tayle. Carterius likewise of the same sect deuided him selfe from him, and of these there rose other schis∣maticks throughout other cities. I of mine owne parte, in somuch I leade my life here at Con∣stantinople,* 1.6 where I was borne, bred and brought vp, no maruell though I write more at large of the famous acts done within this citie: partly seeing that I sawe most of them with mine eyes▪ and partly also in somuch they are more famous and thought farre worthier of memory then ma∣ny other acts. These sects and schismes raygned not at one but at sundry times, whosoeuer is dis∣posed exactly to learne the seuerall names of all sects, let him peruse the booke of Epiphanius Bi∣shop of Cyprus, intitled Anchyrotus. So farre of these thinges.
