CAPREOLUS.
CAPREOLUS Successor of Aurelius in the See of Carthage, sent in 431, his Depu∣ties to the Council of Ephesus with a Letter, which is set down in the Acts of that Coun∣cil. * 1.1 We have also a little Treatise which he wrote in answer of Vitalis and Constantius, Chri∣stians of Spain, who had consulted him, whether it might be said, That God is born of a Virgin. In it he proves this Truth, by shewing, That there is but one Person in Jesus Christ, and confuting those that are of a contrary Judgment. He speaks in this Treatise of the Con∣demnation of Nestorius, and of his Heresie in the Council of Ephesus; to which he says, That he sent his Deputies. It is very remarkable, That the 2 Spaniards apply themselves to Ca∣preolus, to desire of him, what they ought to believe in so important a Point as this is, and that they do it in the most submissive Terms. What would not the Divines of the Court of Rome say, if this consultation had been addressed to the Bishop of Rome? What Consequences would they not draw from such a Consultation in favour of the Pretensions of the Court of Rome? This Treatise was published by F. Sirmondus, and printed by Cramoisy [among Opu∣scula Veterum at Paris] in 1630, [Octavo]. [It is also in Bibl. Patr. Tom 7.]
