A new history of ecclesiastical writers containing an account of the authors of the several books of the Old and New Testament, of the lives and writings of the primitive fathers, an abridgement and catalogue of their works ... also a compendious history of the councils, with chronological tables of the whole / written in French by Lewis Ellies du Pin.

The Bishops of NESTORIUS's Party.

THere were other Bishops, who were more addicted to the Party and Doctrine of Nestorius than those of whom we have already spoken, who would by no means hear of a Peace, * 1.1 and whom the Aegyptians would not have included in it. Because we have some of their Letters, we will take notice of them in this Place.

Meletius of Mopsuesta, Successor of Theodorus, who was deposed in the Council of Ephesus, and banished. We have eleven of his Letters in the Collection of F. Lupus. Dorotheus, Bishop of Martianople, deposed in the same Council, and expelled out of the Council of Constantinople: There are Four Letters of his in the same Collection. Alexander Bishop of Hierapol••••, the Author of Four and twenty Letters, which are found in the same Collection. Zenobius Bishop of Zephyria in Cilicia, and some other Bishops, of whom we will speak afterward, who would never be comprehended in the Peace, and therefore were deposed and banished.
