CHAP. LXVI. In what manner he put a stop to the Contro∣versies raised in Africk.
a 1.1 WHen therefore an intollerable madness had seized all Affrica, occasioned by some persons, who with a rash levity had dared to rent the Religion of the people into various Sects; We being desirous to put a stop to this Distemper, could find no other remedy sufficient to effect its Cure, than (after we had destroyed the b 1.2 Common Enemy of the world, who had op∣posed his own impious Opinion and Command a∣gainst your sacred Synods;) c 1.3 that we should send some of You as Assistants in order to the making up an agreement between those who were at variance one with another.
Notes
a 1.1
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. Que∣stionless it must be written 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, &c. When therefore, &c. A little after, where the reading is 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, the particle 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 is to be expunged. He means The Donatists, who after the Roman Synod and that of Orleance, after Constantine's own determination, were as yet tumultuons in Africa. Vales.
Without doubt he means Li∣cinius, as these fol∣lowing words de∣clare, who had opposed his own impious opinion, &c. For Licinius had prohibited the Synods of the Christian Prelates, as Eusebius attests in book 1. chap 51. But Christophorson by a great mistake thought, that by the Common Enemy of the world here was meant The Devill. The meaning of this place therefore is this. We had thoughts, says Con∣stantine, after our conquest of Licinius, of sending some of you Eastern Bishops into Africa, to make up a Peace there between the Donatists and Catholicks. For, when the Bishops of Italy and of the Gallia's could not effect that, we hop't it would at length be done by your help. But, as we perceive, you your selves do now stand in need of Peace-ma∣kers. Vales.
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. I write 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, from Gruter's and Mo∣raeus's Copy; whereto agree the Fuketian and Savilian Manuscripts, and the Kings Sheets. Vales.
