MAXIMUS.
THis MAXIMUS was a Philosopher of Alexandria, who procur'd himself to be Ordain'd Bishop of Constantinople, and did all that he could to force away from thence St. Gregory Nazianzen.* 1.1 He wrote a Book of Faith against the Arians, which he presented to the Emperour Gratian at Milan; this he did in all probability, when he came into the West after he had been driven away from Con∣stantinople and Alexandria. St. Gregory Nazianzen gave him at first great Praises, but afterwards he blacken'd his Reputation in a wonderful manner. The Western Bishops protected him, but those of the East declar'd his Ordination null, and made void all the Ordinations that he had made, by the Fifth Canon of the Council of Constantinople.
