CHAP. IX. Concerning the Virtue and Age of the two hun∣dred and fifty Bishops.
[a 1.1 MOreover,] of these Ministers of God, some were eminent for their * 1.2 wisedom and eloquence; others, for their Integrity of life, and patient sufferance of hardships; b 1.3 others, were adorned with modesty and a courteous be∣haviour. Some of them were highly respected by reason of their great age; others were emi∣nent for their youthfull vigour, both of body and mind. Some were newly in••tiated in∣to the † 1.4 Order of the Ministery. To all which persons the Emperour com∣manded a plentifull provision of food should be every day allowed.
Notes
a 1.1
At these words I be∣gan a new chapter, having fol∣lowed the authority of the Kings and Fuketian Copy: whereto a∣gree the Old Sheets. Vales.
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. Severall senses may be given of this passage. For 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 may be taken for modesty and a courteous behaviour; supposing 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 to be made use of instead of 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Or, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 may be meant concerning them, who were not the ••minentest persons amongst the Bishops for learning and sanctity of life; but did not come much behind them. So the Ancients termed those Medios Principes ac duces, middle Princes or Commanders, who were neither the best, nor the worst, but were in a middle place between both. Lastly, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 may be said of them, who deserved to be praised on both accounts, to wit, for their Learning and Sanctity. So Sozomen has expounded this place of Eusebius, in his first book, chap. 17. in these words: 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 &c. Some excelled in understanding and eloquence, and were eminent both for their knowledge in the sacred Scri∣ptures, and for other learning also: others were famous for their integrity and virtue of life: others were well approved of on both accounts. Those whom Eusebius terms 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, are by Sozomen stiled 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, well approved of on both accounts. Epiphanius Scholasticus, in the second book of his Tri∣partite History, chapter 1, renders this place of Eusebius thus: Mini∣strorum verò dei, alii sapientiae sermone fulgebant, alii continentiâ vitae & patientiâ coruscabant: alii verò medio modo horum virtu∣tibus ornabantur; but of the Ministers of God, some shined with the discourse of wisdom, others glistered with continency of life and patience; but othersome were in a middle manner adorned with the virtues of these.
