CHAP. XXVII. That Macedonius, having got possession of the See [of Constantinople,] did much mischief to those that in opinion dissented from him.

MOreover, at that time Macedonius was put into possession of the Churches in Con∣stantinople, Paulus being dispatcht in the fore∣mentioned manner. And having procured a very great interest in the Emperour, he raised a war amongst the Christians, not inferiour to that wa∣ged by the Tyrants at the same time. For, having by his perswasions induced the Emperour to countenance him with his assistance in destroying of the Churches, he procured whatever wicked acts he had a mind to doe, to be established by Law. From that time therefore an Edict was publickly proposed throughout every City. And a military force appointed to see the Emperours Decrees put in execution. Those who asserted the Homo••usian Faith, were driven not only out of the Churches, but from the Cities also. At first indeed they made it their business to expell them only. But afterwards, the mischief grow∣ing worse and worse, they betook, themselves to a forcing of them to communicate with them, being very little sollicitous about the Churches. And this forcible constraint was nothing in∣feriour to that heretofore made use of by them, who necessitated the Christians to worship Idolls. For they made use of all manner of scourgings, various tortures, and proscriptions of their goods. Many were punished with exile. Some died un∣der their tortures: others were murdered, during their being led away to banishment. These things were done throughout all the Eastern Cities, but more especially at Constantinople. This intestine Persecution therefore, being but small before, was much increased by Macedonius, after he had gotten the Bishoprick. But the Cities of Achaia and Illyricum, and the Western parts of the Em∣pire, continued as yet undisturbed, in regard they both mutually agreed, and also retained the Rule of Faith delivered by the Nicene Synod.
